OK. As soon as it happens again, I'm gonna dump the reports. Most of the time (but not always), it happens as soon as I'm out of my home network. So it could be related to this, too:

Q: I've always used aLogcat (Jeffrey Blatt). It has given me some Problems on ICS initially. Is that dump OK for you, or do you prefer another method?
[Galaxy S II General] Barthlon:
guys,

if i have a rom in .zip format and i remove the touchwiz apk's from the /app folder and add the apex launcher apk... will that work without problems?

or is there some file that needs to be edited so apex is assigned/recognized as 'default' launcher?

thank you!
[Galaxy S II General] mightyillidan:
any new thing in lpg ?
[Galaxy S II General] emilcioran99:
Any mirror for LPG? :)
[Galaxy S II General] whiskerp:
I think that you can just set/change the default launcher in the Advanced settings in Apex.
[Galaxy S II General] Barthlon:
i mean in the ROM zip-file, before ROM installation.

if it doesn't work i can not enter apex at all and probably get 1000 fc's :p

[Galaxy S II General] NeoPlex:
it will not work... each CWM zip has a control file. Something like crc. I think that is not even possible to flash this zip file by CWM now.
[Galaxy S II General] victorator:
Not true. Add Apex and whatever you like to the .zip, you will have it preinstalled when you flash the rom. I wouldn't recommend removing twlauncher even if you don't use it, as there are still tw dependencies in samsung roms and some things might FC.

The thing you're reffering to is the MD5 control sum in .zips when you make a nandroid backup. You shouldn't touch those files, nor the folder in which they are located otherwise restoring it might fail.
[Galaxy S II General] MaKTaiL:
Yes, 9 new wallpapers. Here are the screenshots.
[Galaxy S II General] Barthlon:
well it is possible somehow. enough roms out there that have apex or another launcher as standard and have touchwiz removed completely...

i just want to know if it's a matter of putting the apex apk in the app/ folder or that i need to do something more than that (somehow let the system know it should start up with apex now instead of touchwiz? or something?).

and if i need to do something more.. then what exactly? :p

---------- Post added at 01:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 PM ----------

ah! thank you very much, exactly what i ment.

i actually wanted to keep touchwiz, but i like apex as well. and given that touchwiz fc's the hell out of my s2 when i clean out the apk list, i will go with a 'clean' apex :p

somehow touchwiz tries to start up with some homescreen widgets enabled and when you remove those widgets from the zip, touchwiz fc's...

there is probably another solution for this, but i will just remove tw and add apex :)

i do lose the ability to quick dial/text a person by swiping right/left in contacts list, right?
[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
Idea for changes in builds (???)

This just occurred to me.

What if someone set up an environment where for each new system.img, the file would be converted, mounted, contents (framework + apks) extracted, automatically decompiled, and just sitted there ready for full text comparison to previous similar unpackings with a previous build?

The diffeerences might be huge, and this is very dependent on how the compilation produces equal outputs for the unmodified source code, but at least an experiment would be worth a shot, no?

Even knowing "xxx.apk" has been changed, "yyy.apk" hasn't, would already provide some clues.

[Galaxy S II General] Donaghy:
I flashed it, and at first sight, not a lot has changed. No 'contacts' tab or anything (for those who'd want that). Looks very similar to LPF, which I had before. But that's after 20 minutes of playing around with it. Any changes are probably not visible, but performance related or something.
[Galaxy S II General] Shadow350z:

According to Samsung Norway it consists of bugfixes.
[Galaxy S II General] Simonetti2011:
Just a note for those who will choose to download this through CheckFus Downloader:

In the site samsung-updates.com, this ROM is listed as Finland. That is not accurate and you'll not find Finland in CheckFus. The proper name for this ROM is exactly what the OP has stated: Nordic Countries (aka Freeze-your-ding-off Countries).

I have already flashed this ROM (Mobile Odin) and already uninstalled all the bloatware from it).

My previous ROM (Italy, ITV) was the most stable ROM I've had so far. In all the few (3-4?) I had it, I didn't have a single reboot or slow down. Stable as a rock.

I just decided to try this ROM because it's changelist is higher than ITV's. Testing now and I'll report later.

I upgraded to XWLPG today and it seems ok, but I cannot go back to the home page from within a program by pressing the home button, I have to use the back button.

I am on Orange UK and I don't believe the data reception is as good either :(

Think I might go baxk.
[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
Man, what a bunch of lazy bums. One has to do everything around here? :rolleyes:

I compared the ROMs and the only relevant difference is in the sec-ril library, which is not the modem but is somewhat involved in the network usage (data perhaps?). At least BBS always shows *ril* kernel wakelocks whenever there is data transfer involved.

It could be worth upgrading just to check if this improves anything, changing also the modems or not.

Apart from this, there are only very slight changes in the automatic connection retry for a couple of operators, everything else is the same (including Swype, Vlingo, etc.)

I don't know about the kernel, though. But that's irrelevant for who is using a custom kernel such as me.

Quite frankly, I'm amazed on how little changes are there between the 2. There must have been a lot of code changes either on the RIL library, or eventually the kernel.

Also, remember that the changelist number reflects the amount of source code commits on the repository, it all depends on the existing structure. If I9100*** is all under the same one, changes on JP???, HK variants, etc. contribute for the number going up, but those sources do not contribute to this package.

XWLPG does not contain the new wallpapers from XWLPF :(
[Galaxy S II General] fermarkman:
Any word on the release date of the official ICS ROM in Latin America?
[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
That part depends on the CSC package, be it the original one or a frankenstein / custom CSC.

The original one delivered with ITV (XWLPF) contains Aquarium Live WP, Deep Space Live WP, Samsung Movies and Silhouette (free edition), which are not in the NEE (XWLPG) package. The common apps are Swype, Vlingo, PolarisOffice, KiesAir and a few others.
[Galaxy S II General] MaKTaiL:
Actually he is talking about the new static wallpapers too.

I thought they would remain on newer versions but I guess not.

I've tested a lot of ICS ROMs, but the Italian ones are the most "complete" IMO.

Hi, 1 Q for LPG:

In there on lock screen "Swipe to unlock" text and option to remove it /like LPW/and percentage of battery?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
The wallpaper images are contained in the TwWallpaperChooser app, which have exactly the same contents, including the code. Therefore I find it strange that this doesn't result in presenting the same options to choose from.

I haven't flashed the ROM, though, so this is just my line of thought ...

??????????

I'm just wondering, why keep on flashing newer stock ROMs if there is no info about it at all, ok the build is newer but is it better, does it fix something, are there new features etc.

There never is any info from Sammy on these new firmwares, we just have to figure it out on our one.

Getting a little bit tired flashing new firmware from samsung every few days to find out nothing changed. Just have to asume builds are better ....... never realy noticed a huge improvement.

Guess this time I stick on my great custom ROM from Turkbey and let Sammy rebuild there firmware as they please. only time I maybe flash official firmware again is when 4.0.4 is out for S2.

Don't realy understand why samsung never publish changelogs for any of ther builds!

[Galaxy S II General] madahab:
Arabic menu with RTL?
[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
Indeed. And even the visuals, people will find then only by luck.

Read my posta a couple of pages back; I have compared the entire contents and code of XWKLF vs XWKLG and can tell you that the "only" difference is the RIL library. Nothing visual, but since this is involved in the communications later, it can potentially have very different behaviors in power consumption or signal level (independently of the modem being used). E.g. this is the library responsible for the multipdp wakelocks.

Ultimately, only trying will show the differences, although it's possible to do the comparison to narrow down the areas known to have changed.
[Galaxy S II General] CoinCoin88:
Does LPG (or LPF) contain the "dialer freeze bug" that forces to clear contact storage to be able to use the dialer ? (appeared first on LP9 I guess)

That's the only thing preventing me of moving from LP8 (which I find really battery-draining btw, not very pleased with it... but doesn't force me to clear contacts...)
[Galaxy S II General] someonet1k:
I've been using LPF for a while now and all is well. But that bug on LP9 forced me to wipe two times before being able to clear it when I reverted back to LPS so to be able to do a nice LPF install :D
[Galaxy S II General] CoinCoin88:
Well the actual questio is, did you went from LP9 to LPF, or did you revert from LP9 to anything lower, and then upgraded to LPF ?

If contact storage table is consistent between LP9 and further versions, I should have the same problem when upgrading from LP8 :/

edit: nvm, you did LP9 -> LPS -> LPF ? But isn't LPS higher than LP9 ? So does LPS have this "bug" too ?
[Galaxy S II General] zoran123:
Can some1 upload wallpapers from new firmware please?
[Galaxy S II General] j2002:
Probably is true but, as kronkels says, we have to figure it out. Where it is shown? An user talks about differences he found on code. Other user talks about his feelings/impressions but we have nothing real from Samsung; only what we can find.

I agree we have not to be on last official firmware and less with the lack of information we have (one day, there would be a buggy firmware and....) but it is so easy....
[Galaxy S II General] someonet1k:
I was on LPS but had issues with the WiFi connection being unable to start sometimes. So I went to LP9 and got the issue with the dialer pretty bad at that. Had to wipe, then revert to LPS, wipe again and then jump to LPW but there the brightness control feature on the status bar wasn't working (I use it a lot) so I went to LPF :D It was my first more serious issue with ICS so far, but hey, since I've tried nearly every European ICS firmware, it's not that bad :)
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
I've never experienced that issue thank goodness but I've used LPF now LPG and neither have that bug afaik.
[Galaxy S II General] sharp87:
Ics indian version has beeen released for i9100
[Galaxy S II General] Dimer81:
Interesting.... maybe the LPW changes will spread to the rest of the firmwares. hope so... really want that contacts tab in the dialer.

LPW was the last XX firmware, maybe XX firmware is the base for others after all.
[Galaxy S II General] CoinCoin88:
OK so assuming the "contact storage/dialer freeze" bug is related to a change in the Contacts table schema, this means LPS has the same schema as anything before LP9... and also same schema as LPW and LPF.

Basicaly, this *should* mean than anyone going from LP7/8 to anything above LP9 *shouldn't* expreience the dialer freeze... I'll give i a try then. If it doesn't work, i'll go back to LP8 anyway.
[Galaxy S II General] Phone_Guru:
What's the big deal? If it does happen simply clear the contacts storage and your contacts will be re-downloaded from google and the dialler will then work.
[Galaxy S II General] CoinCoin88:
said countless times here already... there are some people who don't sync their contacts with G's servers. I'm not selling/giving them all my contacts address, phone number, mail addresse,...

So no, contacts won't sync back when "contact storage" is cleared on my device.
[Galaxy S II General] Phone_Guru:
Then export them and import after clearing. It's called a smartphone for a reason.

From my comparison OXXLPL have additional definition for TMT CSC which belongs to Montenegro. I was comparing just CSC.
[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
The differences between the packages are:

Includes TMT (Montenegro)

Some minor changes in Spain (FOP) operator settings - updated operator names, bookmarks no longer locked, SMS definitions, APNs now editable, etc.

Minor changes in France (VGF) - Changed startup URL from operator's site to google

Everything else is exactly the same, including the extra apps in the hidden partition - KiesAir, PolarisOffice, Swype, etc.

So unless the coutry-specific changes affect you, no need at all to update to this MultiCSC.

Quick question. I'm sure it's been asked before but I couldn't find it :(

Is the bootloader the stock latest one in those roms or is it 'fixed' like Intratech does?

I couldnt find I9100XWLPG on intratech's thread that's why I asked.

Also someone said they were getting 2 days with BT and Wifi off. Do you have sync on your gmail over 3g as well as a few other apps?

I think that's the biggest battery drain for me and it's unavoidable too as I need to have my email at hand whenever.

Edit: In case one of you feels very nice. i'm right now on the 'old' XXLPS. Are there any changes good/bad between that and LPG? Particularly battery wise, stability and new feature?
