Yes you are right as per the branding . Been that long since i used CSC and i forgot the file structure .

I just ripped old CSC files minus the branding etc for all my roms from the cache.img .

Is anyone else getting hangs with SetCPU and undervolting, even with Siyah's latest kernel? And if so, what are you using to underclock?
[Galaxy S II General] g3ckospy:
No data network services

After flashing ICS, i don't have any data network connection. though i can see the H+ and 3G sign above on my status bar..

anyone who has this problem also?
[Galaxy S II General] losta:
i would recommend voltage control...works like a charm for me :p
[Galaxy S II General] tylerdurden83:
If I do a factory reset after having flashed LP3 (from LPQ), how do I restore the OS configurations, like the saved wifi passwords, screen brightness etc?

Afaik Titanium Backup only restores user apps...
[Galaxy S II General] Beefheart:
You mean it works like a charm with LP3 and Siyah or are you using a different Rom/Kernel combination?

EDIT - thanks for the recommendation but I downloaded it and set my normal voltages. As soon as I pressed 'Apply' the phone hung. Strange, I haven't gotten a single version of ICS to undervolt without hangs on any kernel. Works with no issues on GB.
[Galaxy S II General] Karpfenhai:
Why don't you guys simply read the siyah thread with care?

Right now, its impossible to undervolt / overclock / set a threshold during boot!

you simply need to wait a couple of mins after rebooting and adjust then the voltages and stuff, don't hit set on boot on your tools! This way your phone will freeze 100%!

With siyah use extweaks and voltage control, setcpu is not the recommended solution for Siyah Kernel!

GPU Settings are working, loadh and loadl for CPU too, but OC /UV will not work as bootoption!!

Clear? Thanks! :D
[Galaxy S II General] Toxic17:
Use the backup and reset feature in settings. It backs it up to Google servers.

It restores bluetooth settings, wlan access points and many other stuff, except call logs.

[Galaxy S II General] Dmonty:

Browser

Hi everyone,

I have just updated my official Samsung 2.3.5 ROM to an official LP3 ROM using KIES. Everything looks to be fine so far except the stock browser. Unlike the browser in the 2.3.5 ROM, this doesn't "lock" your screen horizontally when scrolling and it reflows the text, as if I was zoomed in, immediately after it loads a web page even when I'm still zoomed out.

I could live with the second problem as I always double-tap the text anyway, but the browser is pretty much unusable for me without the "lock" feature.

Is this a known bug? Is there anything I could do to fix it? Like to replace the .apk with an old version?

Thanks in advance.

Are there any differences? Except wanamlite can be flashed via recovery and intratechs via odin!

If yes which one is better?
[Galaxy S II General] Karpfenhai:
I just wanted to make it clear, no offence :-)

In this particular case we need to workout a reliable solution.. Is it freezing right after pressing apply or just some time later? If it freezes immediately, check on which frequence your cpu was running in that very moment.

Limit your cpu to 800 first, is this working?

Don't mess with governors, stay with ondemand and cfq for the beginning.

Don't mess with cpu hotplug feature, set it to auto.

Don't use 100mhz, its useless and causes problems.

Loadh 85 loadl 40 is fine.

Start uv with tiny changes, don't expect gb values to work, use -50 steps,

With these "rules" you should succeed.

I personally use this values.

The versions that have been released to date have been LP# I noticed that someone mentioned in another thread that they thought that the " P " was for Preproduction or testing , as the number / letter sequence don't match how GB releases have been sent out.

Yet the new versions LC2 do match the letter /number sequence. Just wondering if Samsung have fixed all the problems with ICS as they are now releasing the correct letter / number sequence.

Should I switch over to the newest (European) version?

You can do it but it's recommended to wipe to avoid any problems or conflicts in the future.

The firmware change is quite substantial in case of going from GB to ICS so it's always a good idea to wipe in such cases. However if it's only a small update like going from ICS LPQ to LP3 ROMs, then wiping is not necessary.

[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
Myself, flashed LP3 even before Intratech added it to his thread. Used CheckFusDownloader to fetch the original UK/O2 version, which is I9100XWLP3/I9100O2ULP4/I9100XXLPR/I9100XWLP3. When flashing, and since I'm on PT with TPH csc (unbranded), took the multi-csc pack OXXLPD previously released with XXLPQ version and used it when flashing to override O2's branding.

This also raises a question someone might be able to answer:

The CSC contains both the "cache" and the "hidden" partitions, which override the one in the base ROM / PDA file. Since in ICS the hidden partition now contains a couple of apps that are installed as user during the 1st boot, to free up /system space, are there updates to these apps that would lead to using fresher CSC files even if TPH is not there? These apps include swype, polarisoffice, and a couple of others.
