I barely caught the update being pushed thrum to my phone today. I set it for Feb 5th....that was the farthest it would let me set it out. I am rooted and have some apps frozen with titanium backup. What do I need to do to get my phone ready for the update? If I just let the update happen on its own will it screw up my phone?

Thanks

There's about 30 threads on this already...

You have to back up anything you don't want to lose, go back to stock and relock, accept the OTA, unlock, reinstall su and you'll be fine.

You can run RUU, or if you have a nand of stock you can flash stock kernel + stock recovery + restore your nand, or you can use con247's ROM package, or use scrosler's ROM package. If you use either of those ROM packages I think you do not need to download the OTA yourself, I know for con's you don't:

con's - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1467329

scrosler's - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1467608

I have not looked through scrosler's thread.

If you go with con's here are steps to take:

1) use Amon Ra to flash con's vigorStock OTA ROM. It will do its thing then reboot to hboot. I think it then asks you if you want to update. Don't do it yet.

2) At this point you want to relock. So go into fastboot on the phone. Using adb/fastboot type the following at the cmd prompt:

fastboot oem lock

3) Reboot phone and let it flash the PHzip file. It should reboot completely when it's finished.

4) delete the PHzip file using a file explorer app like ES File Explorer or Root Explorer.

5) get the phone back into fastboot. Unlock again using adb/fastboot. I don't remember the exact command but you can find that in the guide for unlocking.

6) reinstall su using Amon Ra.

Now you should be stock OTA rooted with the new goodies.

Check in Settings > About phone > Software info > More to see that you got all the new stuff.
[HTC Rezound] Tommy Subway:
I just unfroze my apps, and Temp Unrooted with the VooDoo OTA RootKeeper app. It went through the whole update successfully and didn't wipe my phone. I didn't do a recent backup before I did it and I was fine. I did this with the bootloader still unlocked. I only had the phone unlocked and rooted with zerg and bloat frozen. When I started the phone back up I used VooDoo OTA RootKeeper to restore root and my root apps still work.

If I am already on CleanRom 1.6 and follow these steps do I have to worry about what mainver or is Cons Mainver the same as CleanRom 1.6
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I don't know about that ROM. If it's a GB ROM you should be fine. If it's ICS then you may have to do one of those txt editing workarounds.

con's is based on stock.

Hi, this is an ASF stream (Windows Media Video 9 - WMV3). On your PC try to save it (stream it) to a file with Videolan etc. and then (re)encode it with Mediacoder, HandBrake etc (DVD Catalyst has presets for Android devices including Transformer but it's not free). Good luck.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] samsungronv:
Was browsing around looking for a new case for my Skyrocket. Ended up at this site, which appears to be very good. Reading input regarding extended life batteries, could not help myself so joined up to give you recent experience. Was doing the usual charge it every 8 hours with my new phone. Online found, received and overly impressed with my new 3500mah extended battery. Received it two days ago; had 60% upon receiving. Per instructions, charged it to 100% and unplugged. Next step is to totally drain until it shuts off (still working on that today - 530pm and still at 57%) then recharge to 100% plus 3 hours extra on charger. There are no side affects from this battery as it replaces the factory and is a one battery system, just over sized. I am and was looking for a new case that will fit the over sized battery. When you buy the battery for 29.99 it comes with a back cover that accommodates the over sized battery. Got it at accessoryswamp.com. FYI=(3500MAH Extended Life Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket Battery,BAT-0018-GS2RKT,1,$29.99) Still looking for silicon type battery cover though; any help appreciated. Hope this helps in battery buying decisions.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] DanDroidian:
So, for those people who have XXJVU, with the new features like face unlock, faster camera, video recorder that lets you take pics while recording, etc, is there any REAL reasons to switch to XWJW1 other than "it came out more recently, so it must be better," and "it's official"?

Any feedback is welcome.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DanDroidian:
Ok, from what I gather XXJVU is definitely "newer" as far as features go... So, what would be a good guess about when an official version of XXJVU will be out, since it seems that going from XXJVU to XWJW1 would be pointless...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] christian5916:
"Newer" doesn't mean better, look at Froyo vs Ginger, and even if JVU has some new feats it has some bugs and less Ram for the user
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DanDroidian:
Ok, so which one do YOU vote for? So jvu has less ram? Which bugs are u referring to that are "fixed" in JW1?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] resumi:
XXJVU is newer but more bugy and unstable. XXJVU have some funny "features" like new lockscreen and faceunlock - good 5 minutes toy for kids.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pouetmimi:
And you can take picture during a film, this is pretty useful.

I have tried both and it seems that jvu is less stable, it force closed a few time with no reason.

I never tried face unlock as I think it is absolutely useless.

jw1 was good but with nothing more than older firmwares.

I am now on jvu 'cause i feel lazy to roll back to jw1 and jvu is stable enough, only rare force close, never a random reboot, and i like photos during film.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] saqibniaz:
i have been using xxjvu

it sometime gives phone FC while ending calls. :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] penfold:
i think jvu is seriously buggy.

after flashing i had no wifi and no data, they wouldn't even come on, that's the first time i ever had anything like that from a stock firmware
[Galaxy S I9000 General] christian5916:
To take one JW1, use have the leak one and jumped to JVU, and even with all the feats the only one I like was the new lock screen but that also has a bug, face unlock is cool but not perfect, so if you want someting different JVU, if you want the newes stable rom JW1
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ledadu:
you must re-flash !
[Galaxy S I9000 General] apsoogos4ever:
jw1 better at everything...the "new feautures" is for babys ...face unlock works in darkness too ?haha...

jw1 is the best gb rom that has ever been released..:)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Fishzn:
Unfortunately for me I ran towards JVU like a kid in a candy store - not that its a bad rom its just slightly buggy in my opinion - and for some reason the RAM management seemed poorer to me than on my Gingerreal2 JVT build. I went back to that after trying my hardest to get JVU up to spec, in the end it was OK but just lagged that fraction more and FCd more than my JVT build.

So I'm back to that - never really bothered to look at the JW1 builds but apparently they're better than JVU according to this thread - silly me I should've did my research instead of just following what seemed like the best! Will wait a while to see what goes then and then maybe try out a JW1 build - can't be bothered with ICS due to the battery life!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DanDroidian:
I'm on the official JVZ now, so it seems I'll be going to the official XWJW1, cuz I'm not a fan of face unlock or bugz... And Semaphore kernel is stopping with 2.5.0, so I'll also be looking for a new kernel that will continue to be updated... Galaxian?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EmDzei:
Galaxian v1.2 kernel

Just let you know about Galaxian kernel v1.2. It is JVU (version 2.3.5). Standalone version is 1.1, but you can get the newer 1.2 from Galaxian ROM v5. The nice picture snapping while camcording is missing in this ROM. Lockscreen is stock and no face unlock deteting rubbish. ;-)

[Galaxy S II General] montrealguy:
I have the white GT-I9100M with LP6.

1. First of all the camera seems to be the old camera. The shutter speed hasn't improved, and the panorama feature hardly compares to how it works on the Nexus.

2. The launcher and widgets don't compare to the Nexus ones.

3. Where the hell is NFC??

Overall this feels more like a ICS-themed rom rather than a real ICS comparable to the Galaxy Nexus.
[Galaxy S II General] ctomgee:
You're going to be waiting for a LONG time for a firmware update to bring NFC to come to this phone.
[Galaxy S II General] krazykat:
1. It's still beta.

2. It's still beta.

3. NFC will enable when it's your birthday. So for the sake of everyone who has a GSII, when's your birthday?
[Galaxy S II General] montrealguy:
There is also weird differences between the S2 and the GN. For example, the GN only has a 1.3mp front camera and supports 720p videochat. While the S2 has a 2mp front camera and doesn't support 720p videochat.

The LP6 beta is buggy and slow and drains battery. If it is this bad right now, we'll probably be waiting for months for ICS to be released!
[Galaxy S II General] Deleted member 4038153:
Yay, another ICS thread. We haven't got enough of these in this forum.
[Galaxy S II General] montrealguy:
Does anyone know if 720p videochat support is something that can be activated in the future with a firmware upgrade, or is it something that is hardware restricted?
[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
1) The GN isn't beta. LP6 is.

2) The camera firmware doesn't change with LP6. So it's obvious it hasn't changed.

3) AOSP vs Samsung ROM is never representative

4) Final samsung release is slated for end of march anyway, so yeah... we'll be waiting months for final features.

5) ????

6) Profit!

If you like the GN so much, buy it and give me your sgs2. ;)

Oh and NFC isn't a software upgrade. It's a non existant hardware inside our phones.

slightly srs answer:

Camera shutter speed = Hardware

NFC = hardware issue

Samsung builds will always be samsung themed, they are not going to totally change the look of the rom, so yes, it will always look like a samsung/touchwizz themed rom.

Also beta is beta!

Derp derp.
[Galaxy S II General] montrealguy:
Can anyone answer this question? I'm guessing that if the S2 doesn't support 720p videochat now, then it is incapable of this. It is sad though- that a 1.3mp cam on the GN will support it while a 2mp cam on the S2 doesn't!
[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
It WAS answered.

Ok let me clarify if it's still not clear: It's a feature that probably wasn't added yet. If a camera at 1.3 supports it, most likely a camera at 2mp will support it if the proper software goes with it. Most likely the hardware codec support wasn't added and that's needed. But anyway, why would you even want 720p video chat?? Sounds like too much bandwidth to me.

[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
Complain after the end of march.. they said a stable one will be released at the end of march..
[Galaxy S II General] montrealguy:
There are many Logitech cams which are 2mp and 5mp, yet don't support 720p videochat or Skype HD. In such cases it is obviously a hardware restriction.

The Droid Razr is advertised as supporting 720p videochat, and so is the GN. However the Droid Razr is still on Gingerbread. If the S2 was capable or upgradeable for 720p videochat, wouldn't it have been advertised already?
[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
That's what's marvelous about a dev community in open source... If samsung doesn't do it, someone could.

I've seen cams that had no 720p support suddenly get it by dev work. So no, hardware limitations is NOT always the case.

But seriously, if you love the nexus so much, sell your sgs2 and go buy it. Coming on a cell phone's forum to say it sucks compared to another phone is never well received.

[Galaxy S II General] planetf1:
There are some differences, but on things like camera/nfc there'll be hw differences too.

Some of samsungs apps are different, but that doesn't mean they're always less good. For example they're by default black, oled friendly themed. Contacts as links which I don't think AOSP has.

The LP6 rom can work well - fast, good battery life, pretty stable for a leaked version. You can run apps that need ICS. The new task manager, notification features are there. I actally like touchwiz (except for no alpha sort), but can install a different launcher (like nova) if I want to.

Sure there are some differences from stck android - and one could have a huge debate on the whole issue of manufacturer theming but samsung aren't imo doing a bad job at all here.

This made me laugh epicly hard. Thank you for that.

Fwiw, its from southpark. The underpants gnomes episode

Step2: ?

Step3: profit!

Anyways, back on topic. Megapixels don't have anything to do with camera quality. That is determined by lens quality. Megapixels refer to what SIZE image is produce I.e. HxW or something like 1920x1080. So if you want a higher quality picture you need a higher quality lens. Look into dslr and other cameras and you will see what I mean. Image color, clarity and focus is determined more by the overall quality of lens versus how many megapixels it has.

[Galaxy S II General] blumsen:
1. The lens they prop into mobile phones are physically incapable of supporting a lets say 5 or 8 megapixel sensor. Those numbers are just a selling gimic because it is easier to compare 5 to 8 and think "oh 8 is better". If you will advertise a /f2.8 lens 90% of your mobile phone customers will think "oh better get this one with /f4" (which is actually inferior).

2. Capturing video doesn't have much to do with the megapixels of the sensor. Obviously you need a sensor that has at least enough pixels for 720p (1280x720) which is what? just short of 1M pixels. so both a 1.3MP and a 2MP can capture enough pixels to record in 720p, but you also want a decent frame rate, lets say 25 frames per second and so you need your electronic components to be fast enough to process that amount of data. Why ask about 720p? why not ask about 1080p? it has enough megapixels for that to. The question therefore is just if it is fast enough and not how many megapixels it has. Meaning also that you cannot compare the sgs2 with another phone and think that the 2MP camera is necessarily superior to a 1.3MP camera and should therefore be able to record 720p. It just doesnt work like that.

for the quality of the video calls, a 'smoother' higher frame rate stream is nicer (imo) than a laggy higher resolution stream.
