[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooza:
GSMArena say that Samsung are launching ICS for the S2 in march

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_ii_and_galaxy_note_to_get_ics_in_march-news-3752.php

with this I imagine that stable ICS custom ROMs are just around the corner so if you can wait a few months more you will be able to flash a stable safe ROM without any problems.Until then the BETA versions that are out at the moment are going to cause these types of things.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilililo2:
I had these same isues with KP8 on my s2. I fixed them by flashing LP6 directly over kp8 without wiping anything. I think it may have something to do with the phone drivers you have installed on your pc. They may be damaged and be producing some kind of error on the flashing proccess. I recomend that you hard reset to 2.3.x and reinstall kies on your pc. That should reinstall phone drivers too. And make sure kies is NoT running while using odin. Kies doesent like odin ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spytrek:
I have patience ;) As long as I fallback to a functional rom everyting is cool. As for the alpha-beta testing, I have nothing against it and I didn't complain about it. Till March I hope the S3 is out so I can pass my S2 to my better half ...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klammeraffe:
If they are really going to release the official firmware for 4.0.3 in one month, than LP6 should be the last unofficial release (maybe one build more).

Well, of course I can wait. I have no other possibility.

JTAG would be the last option, if it doesnt even work with official firmware ein march.

@pilililo2 so, KP8 showed the same behaviour, and you flashed LP6 via Odin then or with CWM?

I think the drivers are fine, because Odin could flash 2.3.X and CF-Root Kernel perfectly. I always kill Kies processes, too.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klammeraffe:
New stock LPB leak is working!!!

Going to test some custom roms now.

Thanks to all of you guys.

RLF is basically ReaLife1st

Both Paul and I have an extensive family that we care for, and this is purely a hobby as it is for everyone else on here that shares their work for free.

This venture is merely out of convenience for Paul and I. As now we dont need to have clutter dropbox, mediafire, multiple accounts to update lol. Much easier on us now.

Many of you have come to love TWRP 2.0 Recovery.

I just got tired of looking at a bland recovery screen :p

So I took an adventure into the land of themeing the recovery.

First of Credits/Thanks

First TeamWin as without there beautiful themeable recovery we would not have any of this.

Second a thanks goes out to Indirect as I liked his layout of the recovery and used his xml as a base of my modifications.

Third a thanks goes out to mikevillarroel as he created the MW3 themed recovery for the Evo3D and I just ported it to our device. So make sure to drop him a thanks.

Fourth my partner in crime Paul.

Lastly thanks to all you non troll appreciative people out there in the community. The ungratefulness present in this community had me really thinking of taking xda out of our loop for releasing projects. Its become too much sometimes that people do not realize the time and effort that goes into the many things people do and have done in their spare time...for FREE!!! so thanks to the thankful.

I will be releasing these quite a bit as I get ideas, requests, and spare time to do so. So the second post will have all the links to the themes. So just follow the link to the theme you would like to see/download and it will take you to the individual post with the screenshots/download link.

This also keeps me from having to try and get the first 5 posts in the thread lol.

Donations are always appreciated but never required. We will never charge for anything we release in the forums. :)

Flashing Instructions:

FIRST AND FOREMOST *You must be using TWRP 2.0 Recovery to use these*(tip <----thats a flashable zip if you have cwm)

1. Navigate to the TWRP folder on your sd card, and check to see if there is a "theme" folder in it. If there is great, if not just make one :)

2. Download the theme you want.

3. Navigate to where your downloads are stored and move the file to the theme folder from step one.

4. Reboot into recovery and enjoy your new themed recovery!

5. Give feedback :) or constructive criticism only ;)

I don't think there is anything else other than thanks for downloading and I hope you enjoy them!

Any requests made will be taken if I feel up to doing them so if you make a request it might get done or it might not. No promises and never any ETAs ;).

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SJMarty:
In order to troubleshoot an issue with my phone, I need to unroot. I originally rooted using this guide. I have been reading all of the unrooting posts I can find here on XDA and honestly, I'm not sure which one to use. I really don't want to brick my phone.

This was my first time rooting and will be my first time unrooting. If someone could point me towards the correct steps/link/guide that will allow me to unroot properly, I would be very appreciative. Please let me know if you need to know more about my setup.

Thanks.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] invasion2:
Its easy. Just place the PD15IMG.zip on your SD card then go into bootloader and let it do its thing. You can pick between 2.2.1 and 2.3.4. They're somewhere in the development or general sections. Good luck.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazykas:
Seems you rooted gfree method.Try this ways

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=924923
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SJMarty:
Thanks. I restored stock v2.3.4 and everything appears to have gone OK but I still have S-OFF. It restored the non-engineering bootloader but it's still S-OFF. Do you know what I need to do to get S-ON?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] invasion2:
You used gfree right? Here are the procedures...they are taken from here.

Procedure to revert

1. Rename the part7backup file that you already have to something just so you know that it is the original backup.

2. Open up terminal emulator or adb shell and type "su" + enter to get root privileges.

3. Type "cd /data/local" and hit enter.

4. Now type "./gfree -f" + enter to run gfree again. It will disable wp on the emmc and remove the brq filter in the kernel. (as well as make another backup, which you can delete if you wish)

5. Now run the "dd if=/where/your/part7backup-numbers.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7" and it should show the output:

xxxx bytes in

xxxxbytes out

xxxxxxxxxx copied in blah blah blah

6. Run "sync" and then reboot. (I didn't do this and it worked fine but it won't hurt either. )
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SJMarty:
Yes, I did use gfree. I found that thread before posting but when I originally rooted, I did not use the method in that thread. I used the method in the CyanogenMod Wiki so I don't have the part7backup file. The thread you linked too specifically says (in big red text) that "Gfree writes a backup of the file that it patches named Part7backup-numbers.bin on your sdcard. I suggest putting this file in a safe place as it is the only way to revert if you need to." After seeing that, I didn't think that was the way to go.

Are you saying that I only need to do the second set of steps (where it starts with "If you have the engineering hboot 0.85.2007 installed...")?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] invasion2:
Not sure...sorry :(
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] invasion2:
You could try the part of the engineering bootloader. Wortha shot.

CM7 or pool party. Which one would any of you suggest? I've been using the CM7.2 Lang from Aero and I'm thinking of trying pool party.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bsannes:
Poolparty is nice I used it for bit and TSM is a great team. When I used it I only ran into one or two very small issues, manlyto do with some menu buttons fc on me. But last I read it was fixed but havent been able to play with it as of late. But the best advice really is to nand backup and give her a go.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Zax_Was_Here:
cm 7.2 is better imo. TSM poolparty was a great rom, but it hasnt been updated in ages, so it lacks the GPS compass fix and the animated data arrows that most AOSP roms now have.

hi

this is a good thread and looking for some info for my initial learning.

On trial and error method, for learning and experiment purpose I am doing this.

At the moment I am thinking of extracting/copying files from one ROM to another ROM. for example if one ROM produces low sound and WiFi is working fine but the other ROM have better sound but WiFi problem then as I said on trial and error method if I could swap some files from one ROM to another to suit our requirement, and hopefully if there is any better result.

where should I look for more info on how to do this as well I am happy to listen to your advises as much as you can which you think would help..

thanks

[HTC Sensation] SensationX1:
I installed CM 7.1 a few days ago and since then my phone has problem charging using the usb cable. When charging thru usb to pc or usb to wall charger, it indicated charging but battery kept draining slowly.

Then I tried a few other roms, including insertcoin 4.4.4, 4.4.6 and ARHD 6.2.1 and the problem persist, even with brightness at ~30%, wifi off. I checked the running apps and it has only a few apps running.

Does any one have the same problem? Can someone help me with this? Thanks.

Edited:

Forgot to mention, when the phone was charging, sometime i would get message "Unable to charge, phone is using more current than the USB cable can deliver. Please turn off phone and close unused apps." when i wasn't using the phone at all.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Do you have another usb cable to try?

If that doesn't work you need to make sure you have the most recent CWR installed, I think the recent one is blue in text. Just go to the Rom Manager app and see if you have the most current recovery flashed onto your phone.
[HTC Sensation] 3484jacks:
I had this same problem on my old desire with cheap cables bought off ebay. Bought some genuine HTC ones and solved the problem straight away.

My cable is the original HTC cable and I tried another cable from Nokia. Same problem. I have a stock 1520 battery and a 1800 cheap battery i bought from ebay. I think my recovery is the most current one, which is 4EX touch.

Is my battery just bad? I realized sometimes it charged up 1~2 % and then started draining.

Overheating

Hi,

I had a similar problem, the phone was plugged but not charging. It was because of a overheating of the battery. In the battery info page, instead of charging it said overheating. I unplugged it, let it cool down, plugged it again and it was charging.
[HTC Sensation] SensationX1:
my battery status never said overheating. it indicates charging but the battery level drops. I also realize sometimes the battery level stayed the same for quite a long while but sometimes it drops pretty rapidly. has my battery gone bad or just the rom? any one got an idea?
[HTC Sensation] SensationX1:
okay, now i am using Battery Monitor Widget and found that either charging through PC usb or wall charger, the maximum charging current is about 120 mAh. As far as i know, wall charger should be charging at 1000 mAh and pc at 500 mAh.

Can someone tell me what's wrong? and how i can fix it?

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] boomboomer:
You've tried a different cable, so try another charger. If this doesn't fix it then you should try flashing firmware and ROM back to stock and see if the problem persists, if it does then it is probably a hardware fault.

battery level weirdness sensation xe stock ics

I have an issue where the indicated battery level keeps dropping even when the phone is on charge with the original HTC wall charger. I have also tried another wall charger- same outcome. Also getting the message that current draw exceeds charging current. Once or twice phone has shut down due to low battery. But here's the weirdness....I take the battery out, put it back in and 'hey presto' the battery level is fine. It seems the phone only 'thinks' the battery is not charing, but it is. Any ideas as to a solution would be appreciated.
