i think there is a real placebo effect with all the "better and faster" obsession.

i tested what you said. my conclusions:

- automatic brightness is the same as LP8 and LP7

- scrolling is just as smooth as before

- proximity sensor reacts just as fast.

- camera starts up just as quickly.

- GPS - i am going to test that very soon.

because the post must sound "good" no matter what. it's just a small part of the ics firmwares. maybe 10%
[Galaxy S II General] Xeodus:
Seems pretty likely - but do you think there is a noticeable difference between the more recent LP7/LP8/LP9 ROMS and the early LPQ ROM? I've been wondering whether it's worth re-flashing for a while...
[Galaxy S II General] victorator:
LPQ for sure. Do yourself a favor and flash LP9. Touchscreen is better. Battery life is better.
[Galaxy S II General] lynx2k50:
Wow how fast people can judge about battery life :)

But no, I understand. Every rom after LPQ has better battery life.

[Galaxy S II General] Ogy77:
Hey guys whats up,I have just one question,but before I ask,well I flash sammy rom LPQ in march and flash some custom rom,now I want flash again sammy rom,what you think is the best and safety for me?Thanx and offcource I press nice button THANKS when you give me the answer:D
[Galaxy S II General] Donaghy:
Yes, LP7 and LP8 are definitely better (I've tested both, and was on LPQ for a while too). I would highly recommend flashing either. I've been on Intratech's Frankenstein LP8 and it's silky smooth and rock stable.

Haven't tried LP9 yet, but it's probably very similar to 7 and 8. Would recommend victorator's LP9 (he linked to it earlier), as it is cleaned out and from the looks of it, it's stable and works well.

[Galaxy S II General] CoinCoin88:
Just updated to unbranded LP9 posted earlier. Full wipe, flash, csc change to XEF (* see below), root, full wipe. Now restoring.

No problems so far, will let you know if anything comes up.

*: I asked earlier today if a CSC change would wipe the internal sdcard, I now have a definite answer: it does NOT.
[Galaxy S II General] ricnar456:
No shutdown in any ics i try all.

Dont use titanium bacup, cpu changers of speed maybe other incompatible program or widgets.

Wipe all.

What were you on previously? Are you using Llama with profiles set to turn wifi on or off automatically? = There is a wifi bug in most ICS versions that can cause the phone to become unresponsive when wifi is toggled
[Galaxy S II General] leon0602:
every time I try to dial a number with the keypad my phone freeze. every time :rolleyes:

is currently the only problem encountered. I can't use the keypad
[Galaxy S II General] Bughlol:
After having similar problem I did a complete wipe and now its all OK
[Galaxy S II General] whiskerp:
You only have to clear the Contacts Storage in Settings..Applications..All to fix this. Its in an earlier posting.

[Galaxy S II General] timvdhoorn:
u mean for the shutdown problem? what exactly i need to do? and how do i backup it?
[Galaxy S II General] archheretic:
Noob question I know, but ive searched and have been unable to find the answer....i am on XEL lp7, and want to flash LP9. Is it possible to do this non wipe (i.e. is there a lp9 which includes CSC XEL?). The way I understand it, flashing another csc will wipe all data, correct? Would really appreciate any assistance, thanks in advance :) BTW rooted if that helps, was gonna flash with mbile odin.
[Galaxy S II General] simonprr:
Silly question but do all these newer firmwares come from samsung (at least initially)?

Are they (Samsung) releasing newer firmwares to the networks worldwide and they are in most cases making changes then releasing them hence the random nature of the releases?
[Galaxy S II General] timvdhoorn:
if i odin a rom from this thread will it perform a factory reset? so yes how do i backup all my apps, contacts etc without root?
[Galaxy S II General] victorator:
Very important information.

Stay away from XWLP9.
[Galaxy S II General] Brotuck:
This is nonsense. The rom works perfect, did not have any problems with it all day.

The rom in that thread does contain modded firmware. So first look into that before pointing to lp9.

[Galaxy S II General] ricnar456:
Non existent this bug here, how publish this crap for the failure in one only cell, no failures at all here lp9 oficial is great.

ricnar
[Galaxy S II General] victorator:
It's not a modded firmware.

The system partition is intact. Only the custom additions by KPN that are gone.

Basically it's what Intratech does with his Frankenstein builds.

It's definitely a bug in the firmware.

Maybe it works only for KPN who knows.
[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
Damn, it was working great until I read this message from you. Tried to wake it up and nothing. Long-press of the power button to restart :(

For the record, I didn't install victorator's file. I fetched it myself from FUS and applied my own CSC (OXXLPH). Full wipe during MobileOdin install, only with root applied but with stock kernel for the moment.

Does anyone know already if it's something in the kernel or if it's the rom?

If it's in the rom, maybe a patch on one of the apk or odex files could prevent the issue instead of reflashing a previous version.
[Galaxy S II General] Brotuck:
Well you changed the csc. And wrapped it in a md5 package. That version is different in comparisation to the original one. And you did not even add xen csc code to it.

This firmware does not have any kpn additions or extra apps or whatever.

All i am saying is flash the unmodded firmware with a full wipe. If the problem still occurs then maybe it is a problem. Before that it is only speculation.

I flash with wipe previous and post upgrade the official lp9, and this bug is fantasy, non existent at all in the original lp9.

[Galaxy S II General] dobuy:
I flashed the Netherlands version of LP9 after full wipe with no mods at all, I have a very simple install with only well known Apps from Play Store.

My SG2 shut down on its own recognisance last night, needed a long push to restart from scratch. So maybe there is some kind of bug.
[Galaxy S II General] redzion:
Same problem here... device is working, but screen is off.. no good rom...
[Galaxy S II General] Remeniz:
Happened to me yesterday after giving LP9 a 2nd chance. Cleared up the Contacts FC issue but then after leaving my phone for a while, I came back to it and it decided to play dead!

LP9 has some issues.
[Galaxy S II General] victorator:
So I guess we have concluded this bug is not related to the Frankenstein I created but affects all XWLP9 devices.
[Galaxy S II General] Remeniz:
I tried the non Frankenstein & the Frankenstein versions and the problem is the same regardless.

So your safe :D
[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
So we win against ricnar :p

The most important is whether or not this newer build is usable, so I guess it's not and end of story :(

BTW, any of the guys having this issue is running a non-stock kernel? Till now I didn't change the original kernel, but I'm tempted to flash e.g. Siyah on top of it to see if it changes anything.

Also, didn't manage to take a logcat during the black screen (dunno if it even is responsive to the usb port), but I'll let it on LP9 a bit more time to try and get this, hoping at least the reason might be identified.
[Galaxy S II General] Ruben1987:
Hi I have a original XEN SGS 2 with the last offical XEN ICS 4.0.3 from the Netherlands. I moved to Ireland/Dublin a month ago and recieved my new SIM from the Carrier Three here in Ireland. After rebooting with my new SIM it said i was roaming so i figured i needed the official XEU UK/Ireland ICS for the SGS2. I flashed it with Odin and it still says i am roaming.

I tried changing my CSC with the code and IMEI but i do not get a list only KOR in the white box and nothing under it to choose from

Now it seems that according to the start post the CSC that goes with this release is XEULP5 but that CSC is nowhere to be found on the internet to download.

Anyone has a link to XEULP5 csc? i need it badly.
[Galaxy S II General] Remeniz:
XEULP5 CSC file.

From Intertech.
[Galaxy S II General] whiskerp:
Sorry, no, I meant the Contacts problem (freeze when you try to dial)

[Galaxy S II General] ducy1:
Hay

I have LP9 (from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1602579) 10 hours now (from yesterday evening) Flashed with MobileOdin (ROOT applied and wiped everything at boot) + BusyBox + RomManeger.

Till now no reboots or anything, running OK. Just now made some calls to test it and everything OK till now.

Best

D.

PS

Did not use any backups for programs or anything, but all fresh installed.
[Galaxy S II General] whiskerp:
I installed the CheckFUS downloaded version of XWLP9 over LP8 and then applied the XEULP5 CSC (from Intratech). I had to delete the Contacts Store to get the dial screen to stop freezing.

I have had ONE black screen which I had to remove the battery to recover from. I have never had one of those on XWLP8. However, I did get the impression that XWLP9 has a smoother touchscreen.

Peter

Sigh: Two further black screen of death. Reflashing LP5 :-(
[Galaxy S II General] roswell782:
Sleep of death last night with the official dutch LP9 and stock kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] superleeds27:
Again,

All SODs are down to kernel, not ROMs.

Dont use stock LP9 Kernel.

Simple
[Galaxy S II General] Brotuck:
Must say that the first thing i change is the kernel. (speedmod) The rest stays stock. So maybe the problems with LP9 are stock kernel based ?

Can the guys who have issues with LP9 post what kernel they use ?
[Galaxy S II General] Bughlol:
I installed LP9 over Frankestein LP8 without wipe and got the sleep of death twice within short time. Again installed the LP9 via odin with complete wipe and rooted with CF-Root LP7 kernel and the phone worked perfectly for many hours with no issues. Then replaced the LP7 kernel with stock LP9 kernel and again the phone went into sleep of death. Again replced the stock LP9 kernel with CF-Root LP7 kernel and till now everything is OK. So most probably there is some problem in the stock LP9 kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
It could be the kernel, or it could be the /system/lib/*.so files (rom) ...

In older builds I have occasionally had black screens but where the phone was working, ringing when receiving calls, etc., which might allow accessing logcat and checking if it's something that can be easily spotted (surfacefligner ?).

If it's indeed the kernel, all the better - CF-Root LP7, Siyah, or whatever should fix the issue.

I'm just waiting a bit longer to try to get the problem before I flash another kernel and hope it doesn't occur any longer.

In my case I'm still with the stock kernel and haven't changed even temporarily to CF-Root.

[Galaxy S II General] gevans35:
Is this the Wi-Fi bug that affects all ICS versions to a greater or lesser extent? I've tried pretty much all versions with many false dawns but was still geting freezing, blank screen problems that need reboot to fix.

Yesterday, I tried setting "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" (in wifi advanced) to "always". So far so good, no lockups, phone seems more responsive and battery life seems to be improved. Currently I'm back with the UK unbranded LP7, but all versions seem very similar to me.
[Galaxy S II General] CoinCoin88:
Running LP9 since yesterday evening, complete full wipe before/after flashing, battery drain seems no different than LP8 (which is rather fast for me.... sigh :()

No sleep of death until now, I've rooted with CF-Root LP7 and then flashed the LP9 zImage, and then again the LP7 zImage ('cause we don't have proper .tar stock LP9 kernel). Anyway, still working properly this way, just the battery drain that's incredibly fats (1 day or so)

[Galaxy S II General] Honzze:
I moved from the LP7 to the LP9 because of the Exchange battery drain bug. I am still waiting for a fix with a newer release (not much hope, though). On LP9 there phone really seems to run smoother.

But: today I had my first black Screen with NO Chance to recover. If i had something like this in the past, i have pressed the combination for "boot to download" an the phone did a restart. This time: nothing! I also had to remove the battery.

I've been on WiFi as this has happened. You to?
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
is the switching on wifi bug exists here?
[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
You can extract the zImage from the full LP9 tarball and flash it with MobileODIN. But the current suspicion is that it might be the LP9 stock kernel the culprit for the SODs being reported.

[Galaxy S II General] blackspp:
I had 3 bdod's this morning, flashed it with mobile Odin.

Not funny!
[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
Do you have intention to stick to stock kernel? If not, instead of replacing the entire rom, I'd suggest you pick a different kernel as it should avoid the issue altogether (or at least till someone confirms it's still happening with non-LP9 kernel).

You can choose any of the custom kernels, or CF-Root LP7 (pretty much stock LP7 just with root), or even flash the stock LP8 kernel and keep the LP9 rom. It should solve the issue, at least according to the information available so far.
[Galaxy S II General] ducy1:
Strange ... now I'm afraid and checking the phone every 5 min if there are some problems ;)

[Galaxy S II General] Erlanderterv:
I found that I had very poor battery life when I kept CF-Root-SGS2_xx_XEO_LPQ-PROPER_v5.4-CWM.zip as my kernel. It was OK to get root but I needed to flash a stock kernel afterwards to get reasonable battery life.

put your phone in your pocket let one hour and try jeje, always this bug happens to me when i quit of my pocket (in 2.3.3 the same)

ricnar

if you check each 5 minutes the phone don't enter in deep sleep mode and you prevent the bug, yesterday when I have continous use, I have no problem, but today I put in my pocket and don't touch for one hour and voila.

Guys... There is one problem in changing kernel.... From the name of the kernel and the bugs and all you can see that the kernel has been updated in kp9.... The touchscreen sensitivity, better battery life and other hardware related things are done by kernel so if you change the kernel you wont get the full benefit of kp9 rom...

i have Version: I9100BVLPB (ORG RO) what rooted kernel i have to use for this ? ty
[Galaxy S II General] joaobarroso:
What bug is that?
[Galaxy S II General] CoinCoin88:
i did so with CWM (flashed stock LP9, then CF-Root LP7, then again LP9 zImage, and finally CF-Root zImage. This way I have root AND no yellow triangle). Still no bug so far, but it also means I have the CF-Root kernel, so LP7 basically... maybe this will help avoid the SoD

edit: of course this was an answer to a previous post stating that i could flash the zImage with mobile odin, etc...

[Galaxy S II General] ricnar456:
Screen of death in LP9 stock with kernel lp9, making all wipes previous and post installation, seems the kernel LP9 stock is the problem, the users who change LP9 kernel for LP8 or other kernel, using the same lp9 firmware have no the BOD.

LP9 kernel have the problem not the LP9 firmware.

PD: read previous pages for see the testimonies of this nasty bug
[Galaxy S II General] roswell782:
It means when your phone after few times enter in deep sleep, your phone shut down itself. You have to switch on. It appears on lp9, apparently only with stock kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] joaobarroso:
OK

I have LP9 with LP9 kernel, used mobile odin pro to flash and get root.

I have no problems with the wake up of the phone, it works normal like LP8 or LP7.

What is the point. Noone should use this kernel. It's bugged!
[Galaxy S II General] whiskerp:
I've flashed the XWLP8 kernel against the I9100XWLP9 PDA to see if this fixes the BSOD - will post result. I'm using SuperOneClick (as per Intratech's instructions) so root is retained after flashing a stock kernel.

Currently running:

PDA: I9100XWLP9

Modem: I9100NELP2 (much better signal on UK-T-Mobile/Orange/3 network)

CSC: I9100XEULP5

Just found out, on LP9, when trying to dial a number, the dialer freezes after the first digit I input and finally says that "Contacts" has stopped. Tring to remove contacts cache+data now...
[Galaxy S II General] Remeniz:
Clearing Contacts Storage will fix the contacts FC issue...

... But LP9 has some other bugs that will cause problems.
[Galaxy S II General] whiskerp:
This has been described and cured a number of times in this thread. Settings... Applications ... All .... Contacts Storage .... Clear data.

LP9 (possibly only the kernel) seems to be unstable and goes to sleep forever a few times a day and can only be recovered by pressing the power button for about 20 secs or taking out the battery. You'd be better sticking with LP7 or LP8.

I'm trying XWLP9 PDA with the XWLP8 kernel to see if this fixes the deep sleep bug.

Peter
[Galaxy S II General] CoinCoin88:
Cleared Contacts and Dialer from Settings > Apps... same deal.

Not to mention the flash was the cleanest I ever did (wipe, flash, csc change, root, re-wipe, restore user data). Really a pain in the ass...
[Galaxy S II General] Remeniz:
Menu > Settings > Applications > All > Contacts Storage > Clear data?

Again, it's pointless cause you'll get the deep sleep problem eventually.
[Galaxy S II General] doongoo:
restore user data from where?
[Galaxy S II General] CoinCoin88:
from my TB backup, choosing data one by one to be sure not to mess up system data.

Managed to clear properly the contacts, but I can't restore them without this crappy bug coming back. I'm definitely gonna revert to LP8 tomorrow, this release sucks...
[Galaxy S II General] maortrol:
Contacts Storage > Clear data

It's seems you just cleared "Contacts" data, and that's wrong: you should clear "Contacts Storage" data.

;)
[Galaxy S II General] CoinCoin88:
Indeed, I was looking for a french equivalent on my phone, but could find an exact one, so I ended up putting the phone in english. Problem half solved, since I can't restore my contacts without also restoring the bug.
