I know CF-root LP9 is kernel ... I say DXLP9 (firmware) with...

I already used XWLP9... it was much worst than DXLP9!!! So I prefer only English but very stable, fast and very good battery :)

My question was... Is there any way to add only a language? Like addon pack? I ask this only for voice commands, talk, navigation mode... not menus

Thank you! ;-)

Is there a plain vanilla version of 4.0.3 that does not have touch wiz on it?

But I don't want to root the phone, just use odin like I do now.
[Galaxy S II General] victorator:
Cyanogenmod 9 / AOSP / AOKP (root required, plain android 4 with extra features)

or

just use Apex / Trebuchet / Nova Launcher on a samsung rom (no root required)

The Note N7000 just received it's first official ICS update with a changelist of 474507 (latest for i9100 is 431438). Looks like they've been experimenting on S2 users enough to release a stable rom for the Note. Let's wait and see if it has the sod bug. Let's hope for a new multilanguage unbranded firmware for the i9100 soon.

Great

Great got it working, was previously coming from a foxhound ICS rom.

I installed with 1 file method in mobile odin, had all boxes ticked to preserve ROOT and ticked the wipe data/cache box and installed no problem.

This rom seems much faster than the foxhound rom, I can play the vehicle level of MW3 now without glitches.:)

No. It works from GB to ICS, but once you backup system app data within ICS it will crash your GB if you restore it. It's one way. GB->ICS

[Galaxy S II General] LiveSorcerer:
Thank's Riz, I'll download this firmware.
[Galaxy S II General] immortalbuddy:
my phone,

android version 2.3.5

baseband version I9199XXKI3

kernel version 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKI3

Build GINGERBREAD.XXKI3

i am total newb with this.

I would like to know what i should be looking at to download the ICS for this phone.
[Galaxy S II General] victorator:
1. Download firmware. (I recommend XWLP8)

2. Unpack the .7z archive. You will get a .tar.md5 file.

3. Install usb drivers. Reboot computer.

4. Put your phone into download mode. (hold volume down+home+power buttons until you see a download message, then press volume up to continue)

5. Plug in your phone to your pc. Wait for windows to install drivers.

6. Run Odin and don't touch any settings, just click on PDA and select the .tar.md5.

7. Click Start.

8. Done.

[Galaxy S II General] littlegreenman:
which rom to install

Hello everyone,

I am quite a newbie at flashing phones. My phone is carrier free in Portugal, which seems to be a wasteland in terms of samsung upgrade for ICS. So I am going the DIY route.

But I have 3 questions :)

1 - I am not sure which one I should download. I am at the moment downloading this one:

because it is in English, and I only use my phone in English. These are my phone details:

Model Number: GT-I9100

Android Version: 2.3.4

Baseband Version: I9100XXKI1

Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKI4-CL575468 root@DELL143 #2

Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XWKI4

2 - Is Odin included in the .rar file, or should I download this one:

3 - In the instructions posted by the OT

Do I have to wipe data/factory reset, or can I just start from the Download Mode? Because I really don't feel like it wiping my phone... But if there is no other way, there is no other way :)

Thanks everyone...
[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
Hi,

It's always best if you do a full wipe whatever the rom upgrade you're doing, even more when moving from GB to ICS. But theoretically it should work non-wipe.

IMO you should back up whatever you want from your current environemnt. Suggestions:

- activate google backup to the cloud and let it idle for a while to have time to sync it all up - this will later restore your installed apps, although not necessarily their settings

- for contacts, emails, etc., that should already be online right? or do you use phone-local contacts, calendar entries, etc?

- if you want to keep SMS, memos, call history, etc. you can use kies to back that up and later restore

- finally, you can root your current GB rom and use TitaniumBackup to save all apps and respective settings (not the system apps' though, otherwise restoring on ICS will essentially create the same problems as flashing non-wipe)

You can always install a kernel containing CWM in your version, create a nandroid so you can go back to that state at any time, and flash it with no-wipe to see how well it goes.

Since you're going the DIY route, my personal suggestion is that you'd go for a XWLP9 instead of XWLP7. You just need to make sure you replace the stock kernel with a custom one since the XWLP9 sammy kernel contains a nasty SOD bug, but there's no problem with the ROM itself and any custom kernel you apply will get rid of that bug - plus all the goodies of root, CWM recovery, etc.
[Galaxy S II General] littlegreenman:
Dows wlp7 also have that bug? I really don't want to mess with custom roms, and CWM... prefer to have stock rom... :) don't know why, just feel better knowing it came from the manufacturer's HQ :) Call me old fashioned :D
[Galaxy S II General] :
UK ROM Question?

My phone is currently on Vodafone UK, and whatever the version prior to ICS is called. I now want to upgrade to ICS but do i need to install the Vodafone UK ROM, or if i install the generic UK ROM will it unlock my phone and work the same?

ALSO I have used Titanium Backup Pro to backup my whole phone and apps etc. Will i be able to restore on ICS?
[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
That bug only exists on the XWLP9 stock kernel, but IIRC not even on the stock DXLP9 (just read the posts so far), and you can apply that kernel - also stock, straight from Samsung - on the XWLP9 ROM replacing its kernel. No root, no recovery, etc.

Still you're perfectly fine with XWLP7 or XWLP8 also, it's just that the newer the ROM, the more likely it is that it has more bugfixes.
[Galaxy S II General] rizdroid:
My pleasure! Abçs.
[Galaxy S II General] olavopb:
Riz!!

I I tried to backup a odin flashble factoryfs.img

in adb shell, su, dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 of=/sdcard/factoryfs.img.

the file factoryfs.img was converted to .tar.

But, when I do the fhash with odin, its fail (when will write).

How I do it correctly? is there a tuto?

Desde já lhe agradeço!!!!!! Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
I haven't used this info myself, but could this thread be the answer you're looking for?

When dumping the mmcblk0p9 block device, you're getting a regular filesystem partition image and not a sparse file that Odin expects. It's the equivalent of the "output.img" file mentioned in the thread.

You probably just need to run the "./mkuserimg.sh -s" line on your dd dumped file in order to convert it to the sparse format and then you can place it on a .tar for Odin to use.

Hi Forks, this page is very old updates. There is a better page that you can try, specially for Vodafone Australia users can find the ICS official update on:

Hello everyone! I'm using dxlp9 since it's released, stock and not rooted with apex launcher and I can say it's the fastest, snappiest and most stable rom my sgs2 have ever had, including lots of customs I've tried. I have experienced zero freezes, bugs or lags for over a week. Battery life is better than on previous releases. And for those of you who are looking for a rom on english, this rom IS on english. :)
[Galaxy S II General] natzy85:
I also think that this is the best rom for ICS in terms of stability and battery life. I now don't have to charge my phone every night. Just like GB when I first had my SGS2.
[Galaxy S II General] Honzze:
The WiFi bug seems to be mostly fixed. Sometimes I still need to switch WiFi off an on to connect with the AP. Still, this happens very rarely.

Additionally, sometimes after switching apps or unlocking the phone, it seems to re-enable WiFi (AP XXX found and connected message as screen overlay), even though WiFi is set to always on. The connection seems to be down and reestablished within a second.

Nothing severe, though.
[Galaxy S II General] Ba7rani123:
Yes I have that too :what: it says 'connceted to...' when its already connected but the problem here is that the SSID is off :/. It only happens if I open the phone from sleep :).
[Galaxy S II General] lyriquidperfection:
Remember to make a system partition backup from recovery mode only otherwise you will end up with an unusable Rom after converting it back to a sparse ext4 image. :)
[Galaxy S II General] immortalbuddy:

[Galaxy S II General] CoinCoin88:
For those claiming to have experienced the SoD bug even on DXLP9 kernel...

I'm running stock LP8 without any customization whatsoever (just rooted, no special widgets, etc...). Was rock solid (except for battery life) for 2 weeks maybe... but for the last 2-3 days I've been experiencing SoD randomly (phone not getting out of deep sleep, no notification or ringing when calling and goes straight to answering machine if called), at least once a day. I suspect a recent software update of some app through the store is causing this.

So for you running DXLP9 and claiming to have SoD... please let us know when you encountered this. Maybe it's not the same bug as in the KPNLP9.

intermittent Wi-Fi on I9100DXLP9 (4.0.3)

Hi there,

I flashed this rom + CF root 5 days ago. Other than the wi-fi that keeps connecting/disconnecting a lot everything is fine.

It seems that other users find the wi-fi behavior of this rom OK in this thread so my question is: is there any way to troubleshoot this?

what i have so far: wi-fi always on (default)

i experience the intermittent issue on office's network as well as at home on both 2.4 and 5GHz. However i avoid the 5GHz as except the ipad2 most of other devices don't work well with it.

Before this stock rom i have used various custom roms, especially the westcrip's remix, i remember the wi-fi disconnecting: it did so very rarely and definitely not a couple times per minute like it does now.

many thanks

There's no data.img file included in the package after i extracted it, what command/file do i replace '--data data.img' with? is it hidden.img?

For the FWs in the first post, can you use those with MobileODIN?

Also, can you use those without wipe (i.e. only with Dalvik wipe) to preserve apps-settings etc (similar to the way it is done on the galaxy note)?

Please answer this as a matter of urgency.

Generally, the rule of thumb is that if you're coming from a Samsung-based ROM and you're flashing a Samsung-based ROM, then there is no need to wipe. Correct me if I'm wrong!

However, it seems like you aren't coming from a Samsung-based ROM, so a wipe is strongly recommended (you might face strange problems if you don't)
