I'm doing alot better after I ran it down to nothing. Definitely my first cycle worried me too. I have the 2d acceleration thingy going and it seems to be quite good today. Overnight (8 hrs) it only lost 1% with only a 2G radio on. This was after the complete discharge and recharge.
[Galaxy S II General] MacDrunk:
can i use this firmware im from mexico,,,
[Galaxy S II General] amnya:
Turn off "force 1st gpu rendering" from developer settings. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Canadoc:
overall I really like this firmware. However, the exchange email client services seems to cause a crazy number of wakeclocks draining the battery severely.

Any fixes for exchange wakelock?

how did you flash it? i flahsed the1 file package in pda and phone got in boot logo stuck....... can you help?
[Galaxy S II General] Zod5000:
Has anyone figured out how to disable the "data network mode will be activated/deactived" warnings?

To only use my bandwidth from my cell plan when I want to. I often turn off the data on my phone. I press the power button and its one of the options that come up.

On gingerbread you would just press it and it would either deactive or activate the data. On ICS it brings up a 2nd box asking if I want to do it. It's driving me insane. I've looked through the settings but I can't find a way to disable the warning box. Has anyone figured out how to do it?
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
try gettign into download mode and reflashing the file.
[Galaxy S II General] cedric123:
i am doing that right now but with the file from samfirmware now i hope it works

[Galaxy S II General] Lefty2Gunz:
Hi,

I have flashed the 1 file version on my unlocked UK phone. Everything is working fine generally. I have one problem and that is that it doesnt let me install any large apps either from Titanium Backup or the Google Play store on my SD card or phone. I saw someone else post this in the thread but cant find that post now!!

How to remove this problem?? Also what is the difference between the 1 file package and 3 files packages? I tried flashing the 3 file one but it says files are invalid.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Galaxy S II General] Faryaab:
Guys new firmware I9100DXLP7 is here! Its for Indonasia so has some languages or locales not include in it. Now I want a favor from you guys, Download and flash this and report back if its better then LPQ.

Thanks,

I tried different USB ports and all but Odin keeps getting stuck at boot.bin

Anyone got an idea about this?

Trying to install the first package on Gingerbread 2.3.5, stock rom.
[Galaxy S II General] cedric123:

[Galaxy S II General] cedric123:
flashing lp7 , lpq is terribly unstable...... with full wipe!
[Galaxy S II General] Faryaab:
Updated OP with I9100DXLP7 (4.0.3) - Indonesia (XSE)!
[Galaxy S II General] xZeDgEx:
So far LP7 >LPQ. Scrolling is more like gingerbread. Touch sesitivity is better. Flashed overtop of LPQ, did not wipe, no issues so far.
[Galaxy S II General] cedric123:
lp7 not able to change dpi.....:(
[Galaxy S II General] jayesh:
Flashed LP7 with a full wipe/clean. If you are one of those having a problem, with the external sd-card slot? Steer clear. Problem is present here too. Nothing gets saved on the sd-card slot.

For e.g. i switched my camera's 'saving' to external sdslot. Fired off a few quick shots... and they did not save. Irritating.
[Galaxy S II General] gasparzim:
So, LP7 is really THAT better than LPQ? I wouldn't mind using english language...
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
No CF/any root kernel as of yet, right?
[Galaxy S II General] sonertekgul:
Well yes I'm wondering that, too

Has anyone found it yet??
[Galaxy S II General] Faryaab:
I don't think its very good can anyone test it?
[Galaxy S II General] Chizomaru:
Well damn reset my phone for no reason, can't get any of the firmwares to work.

Keep getting stuck at boot.bin in Odin, only 200mb left of my 1.2b data plan.

Gonna have to wait till next month to re-download all my apps :mad:

Pissed off!
[Galaxy S II General] helppme:
My thoughts: Regarding the update looking so similar to 2.3.5? Yes it's touchwiz, but it's because Samsung are a profit making company. And the answer is.. S3... They will not be giving us any bells and whistles, we already bought the S2. Expect the S3 to take advantage of every bit of ICS goodness, and hopefuly the S2 will get the leftovers some time after S3 launches. Apple have been doing this for years...

Back to the reason for my post. I'm experiencing very similar battery issues to Bankster

I have updated to the LPQ firmware, and installed novalauncha and the usual back up restore and root tools. No fancy third party live wall papers or wifi utilities etc.. all stock apart from the Launcher. My battery life is literally 60% of the capacity it was before the update with the same usage. My screen used to account for (on automatic mode) 30% of battery usage, now it is 50%!!! wtf... all the settings are for powersave...

However, I have noticed something odd, there are like 20+ apps running using RAM that show up in the application manager. These apps don't show as running under the app widget or basic task manager.

These include 'system updater' 'maps and navigation' despite these apps not being opened, and about 8 others that relate to applications and widgets that are not on my home screens and haven't been opened.. then some which i dont recognise at all, must be system related 'SyncmIDS' ? for eg..

Does anyone know why these are open, I suspect these background processes that take my idle ram usage to 400MB!!!! are what are sucking my battery. Maybe they need to be running, any dev that can shed some light would be great. I'm viewing this from 'system settings' >> 'Applications'>> Running apps tab' .

I was getting 36 hours with a couple of hours of calls, lots of texts and emails throughout the day, an hours gaming and maybe an hour or so using mobile data... that would now kill my phone in under 20 hours...

thanks for any advice,
[Galaxy S II General] Faryaab:
Well, Have you tried to download the firmware again?
[Galaxy S II General] redrumsilence:
Just flash again, I had this issue, wound up flashing it three times in total, problem solved :)
[Galaxy S II General] Chizomaru:
shalloon encelenib

Firmware is fine, it's Odin that isn't showing any progress.

I tried LPQ and PL7 both get stuck, could be this crap of a comp is too old.

Using Intergrated GPU and a Celeron processor on Win XP, so yeah not the best machine for anything but surfing.
[Galaxy S II General] beston94:
So is it true what I'm hearing? That the scrolling in XLP7 is very similar to GingerBreads one? If it is, could anyone confirm it please? That's the only thing that was keeping me back from it. For example when I was using MoonReader Pro+, then the scrolling of the page would act really weird...I hope this was fixed.

Would really appreciate an answer!
[Galaxy S II General] Barely Running:
If you do a long press to bring up Task Manager and click on RAM and then click on Clear Memory it shows you how many applications it has closed and how much memory was freed up. I'm going to try this and setting the phone to flight mode at night to see if my battery will last longer. I've already developed a serious squint from running with the brightness set to zero ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] cedric123:
in my experince lp7 is much better, no fc and use lpq cf root it works much more stable and super smotth scrolling etc! the only problem: no jkay and no multi dpi!
[Galaxy S II General] kaassaus:
do i need recovery and do i need to wipe ?
[Galaxy S II General] Faryaab:
Looks like LP7 is better then LPQ! Posted LPQ CF-Root for LP7 as it just works!:D
[Galaxy S II General] unXist:
Today I first rooted my Spanish Vodaphone branded SG2 (with: CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_KK2-v5.0-CWM5.zip) and then flashed (with: I9100XWKK2 ## 2.3.6 2011 November I9100XENKJ1 Netherlands).

Now i want to update to ICS. Is the wipe really necessary?

Also do I need to root the device first with chainfire's CF-root or does the flashing with the ICS firmware comes first? :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] sonertekgul:
Hey there,

where did u find cf root for lp7. ??
[Galaxy S II General] dark-water:
are you sure LP7 can ROOT with LPQ CF ROOT? there is no problem?
[Galaxy S II General] Faryaab:
LPQ CF-Root also works with LP7. Posted on the OP!
[Galaxy S II General] Faryaab:
So far didn't encountered any problems.
[Galaxy S II General] kaassaus:
do i need recovery and do i need to wipe factory reset ?
[Galaxy S II General] Faryaab:
Just go into the recovery and WIPE your device after that enter download mode and flash the firmware through Odin.
[Galaxy S II General] cedric123:
faryaab you know how to get other dpi on ics?
[Galaxy S II General] downwiththebanksters:
Just to update this after fully discharging and recharging and then part charging throughout the day, I think I'm seeing an improvement in battery. I think I'll install the proper Taiwan ROM (I9100ZSLPE), so I won't be able to watch the LPQ to see if it improves.
[Galaxy S II General] kaassaus:
that bad because i losing all my data then or not ?
[Galaxy S II General] Faryaab:
Nope, I always use the default 240dpi.
[Galaxy S II General] Faryaab:
You will lose all you data but not the data which is in your SD Card.
[Galaxy S II General] kaassaus:
than i will wait for ota
[Galaxy S II General] Faryaab:
Even if the OTA come you will still have to wipe your device for best stability and performance as you are doing a major upgrade.
[Galaxy S II General] Chizomaru:
Finally got the Indonesian/LP7 version installed, tried the USB ports at the back of the comp.

The installation got interrupted at first and almost broke the phone.

Scrolling is almost like Gingerbread, just feels a bit more sensitive but it works well.
[Galaxy S II General] A22AC:
Faryaab, if i backup 1st with CWM can i recover back all my data? i've already updated my s2 with xxlpq xeo, and where can i get stock kernel for this DXLP7?
[Galaxy S II General] unXist:
Do i root first or flash first?
[Galaxy S II General] fro5tie:
Is LP7 ok for flashing on UK phones?
[Galaxy S II General] Faryaab:
If you have ICS already installed then there are 95% chances that you can successfully restore your data. I'm gonna package up the stock kernel and upload it in 5 mins.
[Galaxy S II General] Faryaab:
Yup!

You choice, mate! ;)
[Galaxy S II General] helppme:
Cheers for the info :-)

I just was playing with the TW and Nova Launcher and realised maybe I'm a fool. It seems even if you are using NovaLauncher, any of the widgets or apps you have set up on TW Launcher WILL be running in the background.. SO, I just deleted everything from my TW set up, and now a lot of the apps are staying closed and only what I'm using in Nova is active. I think this will account for some part of the worse battery performance. I also changed my location settings so there are no location data being updated frequently as this will use a little battery. I have run down the device to 0 and fully recharged with device off, will do the same again over the next 24hours, then do another performance comparison... If battery is still bad then I'll start trying other ROMs....

ps. Faryaab, you rock!! for providing us easy access to these ROMs and a decent guide for even the noobs. I see a lot of people posting blunt questions.. remember you have been done a favour even being given these (IMO)... In the words of Bricktop "When I throw a dog a bone, I don't wanna hear if it tastes good" :-)

Thanks

tried to find answer for the old bootloader...but nothing.

so,can I flash old bootloader to remove yellow thing(I've got a jig)?
[Galaxy S II General] Faryaab:

[Galaxy S II General] Faryaab:
Yes, I think you can.
[Galaxy S II General] Brotuck:

Nope....
[Galaxy S II General] E_Goldstein:

[Galaxy S II General] jk0l:
So the first screenshot is the one posted in OP.

What's the second one?
[Galaxy S II General] Brotuck:
Just "the rest" of the languages. I was not a full page actually. But i found it ugly to chop it off:)
[Galaxy S II General] Beefheart:
So, is it worth upgrading from LPQ?
[Galaxy S II General] belutz:
Will wait for it... thanks :)

Also, how just to replace the CSC in LPQ with the one from LP7?
[Galaxy S II General] Faryaab:
Updated OP with separate stock LP7 kernel and modem files.
[Galaxy S II General] helppme:
Maybe a noob question, but are the modem files ever optimised by region or even carrier (once they send out their branded customised version)? just wondering if it's sensible updating to LP7 from LPQ for people in europe and for me in UK specifically?
[Galaxy S II General] TehH4rRy:
Now it could just be my network got their &^$T together and sorted out their coverage, although I highly doubt it. But since the LPQ modem I now get H and H+ around my house whereas before I would just about scratch upon 3G. Also at work I get a much stronger data connection
[Galaxy S II General] gchindi:
yes...clearing data is a good option, considering it is ICS and nor Gingerbread..

so do a full wipe and then install..so that you will satisfied later if any issues arise, then you have no reason to blame on not wiping when flashing ics..

i hope u got the point...!

rgds,

[Galaxy S II General] francodekin:
Hi i have been using this ICS Rom for three days now. But yestetday my default internet browser started misbehaving. Anytime i click it, it opens on a white screen and stays so for 20 seconds before crashing. I have tried going into applications to clear data but it will only work normal on the first opening and after that returns to the white screen bug. Any solution to this?before i consider installing this firmware all over again
[Galaxy S II General] Faryaab:
As far as I know, mainly CSC is the only thing which Country/region specific. It contains all the APNs of the Network Providers of that specific country/region. You can flash any firmware of any region and later you can just manually set your APN.
[Galaxy S II General] gavin15:
How long does it normally take to reboot after install?
[Galaxy S II General] Beefheart:
Is the touch response improved?
[Galaxy S II General] qwerty_7564:
Yes I have done this but it broke the Serial Number field in the Settings/About Phone/Status just appeared as Unknown until I flashed the roms original bootloader back.
[Galaxy S II General] gchindi:
it should not take more than 10-15 mins...this is the max...

if it exceeds...just reflash after full wipe...

pit

when the pit is needed ? in special roms or builds ?
[Galaxy S II General] Donaghy:
So I take it this Indonesian firmware is perfectly flashable over the one posted a couple of days ago? I haven't had that much trouble with the other version, but if this one runs better, I'm all for it.

Quick question: I'll be using Mobile Odin for this. For this reason, and the fact that I'm already running the ICS version from a couple of days ago, a full wipe is not necessary, right? And Mobile Odin will also unroot it..

Cheers for the awesome work here, guys.
[Galaxy S II General] mcwarre:

sorry posting here but has anyone know how to capture screen with this rom???? With old ones (gingerbread) it was as you all know menu button and power button at the same time.

no need to wipe if you are already using LPQ..just flash and enjoy..

[Galaxy S II General] Donaghy:
Thank you, my friend. Rather new to the flashiness, so I'm double checking here just in case. I have Mobile Odin Pro, so the rooting shouldn't be a problem then. I'm downloading the LP7 now; might flash it later. Or wait for another version, of course. They seem to be popping up left and right now.
[Galaxy S II General] gchindi:
yes go for it...well if u ask me...i would say just wait for a week or two...u will for sure get a better picture of official ICS on SGS2..do u really need it or not..

in the meantime...u can try Checkrom Revolution HD v6, its stable and well built...sticking to stock as much as possible but with real usefull tweaks and Jkay settings on board....

[Galaxy S II General] Donaghy:
Yeah, I've been thinking about waiting for the official release and then just rooting it. But now that I'm running the "unofficial" and rooted LPQ version of ICS, can I still use KIES to upgrade 'the normal way' if the official version for my country is released? Or will that conflict in some way or another?
[Galaxy S II General] superleeds27:
LP8?

Do we have a hangelog number?
[Galaxy S II General] BozQ:
Pardon me with this silly question. Does this link contain the ROM, Modem, Kernal and CSC in one big convenient zip?

And by using ODIN, all of this will be installed in one go?

if your kies recognizes ur phone and ask you to upgrade...you can do that...if any issues, you can always use odin to correct it...

[Galaxy S II General] rahulits:
Hello people, sorry for such silly questions!:( I love my GS2 and just dont wanna brick it, coz im not very good with custom rom and all, so I prefer stock rom, official samsung ones!:o

I have an international version of GS2 (Unlocked & Unrooted), running stock rom with..

BASEBAND VERSION I9100DDKL1

KERNEL VERSION2.635.7-I9100XWKL1-CL809037 root@Dellbuilder12 #2

BUILD NUMBER- GINGERBREAD.XWKL1

ANDROID VERSION 2.3.6

My doubts are:

1.Bought my GS2 from India, but now in UK.

Which version of Offical ICS Rom should i get...I mean which country ROM should i download so that my phone works absolutely fine both in India as well as UK:confused:.

2.Atleast I know how to use ODIN to flash official ROMS:rolleyes:. So, is it better to wipe the phone before updating?:confused:

3.I have my backup of apps, contacts and sms done through "MyBackup pro" on my external SD card. So after getting this ICS update can I downlaod "MyBackup pro" from app store again and restore contacts and apps back again through it.:confused:

I am very excited to run ICS on my GS2 but confused!:confused: Because there is no offiicial release for India, so Kies is not showing any update(and will take ages for the update to come to inda) But I want ICS and dont wanna root...just the official Rom.

Please help this NooB:p

Thanx:)
[Galaxy S II General] tez1:
Go back and read the first thread, it has all the instructions you need, and you've kept a backup so its all good. Only thing is you may want to do a full wipe / factory reset prior to flashing.
[Galaxy S II General] gchindi:
ans for Q1 - you can use any official firmware thats released so far..I have read that LP7 is much better...so go for it...even in UK its not yet released...so we are left with waiting or flashing the already released ones via ODIN, its ur choice...but all of them will work both in UK and India...!

ans for Q2 - yes you should wipe and use all possible backups so that u can restore it later...wiping is required coz its a long leap fron gingerbread to ICS, hence a smooth installation will always give u better results...!

ans for Q3 - all available official versions are flashable and you can flash the indian version once its released without wiping the data as u will already be running ics, if u ask me...there is no great improvement / change in ics to GB, so does not make a huge difference to end user...im happy with Checkrom v6 which has all the tweaks that we require...!

Downloading via torrent file now, super fast! :D
[Galaxy S II General] Deniska11:
After using ICS XLP7 for 15 minutes, i must say, its pretty disappointing.

1. Whats up with the stock browser? I have to move the page up and down soooo slowly because one fast movement sends me right to the bottom of the page.

2. Pretty intense Lag and "Choppyness" when scrolling my music, i have about 500 songs, and by the time all album arts load, i dont even wanna listen to music anymore. Also same scrolling issue as with the browser, 2-3 fast swypes brings from top to bottom. Jeez. If i wanna go from letter A to Z, why would i swype when i can use the letters on the right side??

Probably gonna find way more annoying sh!et.
