SVOX TTS

I have SVOX installed as a Text To Speech engine as I want the extra choice of voices for Sygic navigation. Worked well on GB.

Has anyone got it working on XWLP3.

Under settings I can set SVOX as the TTS engine but cannot find anywhere to select one of the 3 voices I have installed. Similarly I can't find where to enable SVOX to be the TTS engine in other applications. All this was easy in 2.3.5 & 2.3.6

Has anyone got it sorted?
[Galaxy S II General] adypem:
Great thread and very helpful but can anyone else confirm if they have had the following problem?

I have now flashed nearly every ICS rom available over the last week or two to my UK Orange S2 and no matter which one I use I invariably get the screen freezing and then the phone restarting or the screen and buttons freezing and have to remove the battery to reboot. When the screen freezes I tend to get either a full screen of lines of alternating colours or two lines across of alternating pixel colours.

I've tried flashing through Odin and via CWM from external but it still happens on every version (phone works fine on GB 2.3.5)

I've factory reset, flashed, factory reset again and it still happens on every ROM, I've also tried flashing without restoring any apps and it still happens.

Anyone else had this or can suggest a possible cause?

Thanks.

[Galaxy S II General] cyberundertaker:
Can't say much about battery. In 4 hours battery dropped from 100% to 90%. Wifi constantly on. That brings me to my question. Is there any option to turn off wifi when screen is off?
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
In advanced WIFI options you can select when to keep wifi on sleep.

so when phone goes into sleep mode - it will turn it off (in theory)

So with Google pushing 4.0.4 do we think that Samsung will hold off unbranded untill then ?
[Galaxy S II General] Toxic17:
I would personally wipe your phone and user the following Frankstiened O2 ICS version

Extract the firmware

Open the included Odin

Put your device in Recovery MODE (Home + Volume up + Power)

wipe Data/Factory reset

wipe cache partition

Take Out Your battery & put it back in

Put your device into Download MODE (Home + Volume Down + Power)

Click PDA and select *.tar.md5

Then finally click START!

This package has: PDA: XWLP3| Modem/phone: XXLPR| CSC: OXALPQ

Download: http://skywanker.net/roms/intratech...9100_XEO_I9100XWLP3_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPR.7z

Mirror: http://narod.ru/disk/44486163001.cf...XEO_I9100XWLP3_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPR.7z.html

i'm on Orange uk and this is my preferred rom at present,

hope this helps.
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
oh...remember to back up
[Galaxy S II General] Toxic17:
Yes of course. btw have you used the Backup and Reset feature in ICS? its actually not bad.
[Galaxy S II General] Erlanderterv:
I'm using this rom in Australia and am very pleased with it. My only problem is I can't get SVOX TTS to work on it but I think that's because the App isn't compatible with ICS yet.
[Galaxy S II General] NaLogo:
I already flashed my GT-I9100 earlier today. It works like a charm! :)

Regarding the CWM/Root-Thing...

[Galaxy S II General] Shiroken84:
Couple of questions guys. Looks like it's already confirmed that it's a non-wipe version which is awesome.

Just wondering if the file for download will be the exact same file that will be made available to the UK next week, or might there be some regional differences? If there are some differences, might I be told that there is an update available when it rolls out in the UK even if I flash this version?

Also, to save using 3rd party flashing software etc, is it possible just to fool Kies into thinking you live in one of the countries that have the software already by changing your computers local/regional settings or something like that?
[Galaxy S II General] pinkfloydhomer:
I have the latest stock 2.3.5 firmware. Back in november I installed CF-Root using CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXX_LPB-v5.2-CWM5 and I9100XXLPB_I9100OXXLP5_OXX.rar.

Since then OTA updates haven't worked, I guess that's to be expected.

But now that ICS is out, I would like the latest firmware. I am not sure which way is easiest.

Do I have to remove CF-Root or unroot somehow, update to official latest, then root?

Or is there an easier way?

The two files attached to the first post of this thread, how do I apply those? Do I have to upgrade to ICS first, then apply CF-Root?

A step by step guide for dummies would be nice :)

I downloaded the I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXXLPD_NEE.zip from samfirmware. _NEE is the Nordic version (I am in Denmark). Does it matter?

Help!
[Galaxy S II General] Yucko:
I will seed these files as well even tho I don't have a SGS2

[Galaxy S II General] JacquesR:
If you're already rooted, then I'd say Mobile Odin (from the Market) would be easiest. Extract the zip of LPQ that you've downloaded, put it on your phone, and select it in Mobile Odin. Use the EverRoot options in Mobile Odin, and you'll end up with a rooted LPQ.

Read this article: http://global.samsungtomorrow.com/?p=12733

Then we will start to wonder where the "Snapshot" feature they said.

In charge of the GALAXY S II ICS upgrade, JiYong Oh says applying the Samsung UI was the main feature of this upgrade.

A few functions have been added. In addition to Face Unlock, Snapshot, Image Editor, a data usage monitoring application has been added as well for efficient data usage management.

'Snapshot’ which allows you to take photos while recording video.
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:

[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
from my experience, it doesnt switch off instantly, but does "eventually" switch off and go to data....its pointless IMO

not like on my tablet, which turns off when screen is off...

Maybe try something like Tasker or LLama to create an automated task for screen off :s

As you see, wifi is not switching off. I unpluged my phone from charger this morning at 9:30, and wifi is constantly on, even when screen is off. I changed the wifi advanced settings to never(increases data usage) and it still won't switch off. Will try the app you recommended.
[Galaxy S II General] Scott M:
Are any of you guys that are running the O2 ICS having issues with sending text messages?

I only upgraded mine today and since then I've had some real trouble sending SMS texts. I managed to send one earlier on after going into "Mobile Network" and re-selecting the network that I was on.

Just wondering if it's unrelated, but it would be one hell of a coincidence as everything was fine before the update.

Just one small side note, I'm not on O2... if that makes any odds? I didn't think it would as all the previous versions have worked fine, I just thought I would mention it.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] gchindi:
dude, is it no like when you select WIFI sleep policy = Never, it means it will never Sleep (turns off), it will be constantly on....

i think you are setting it incorrectly at some level resulting in your wifi being on all the time, check all your apps if any app is looking out for data connection on a regular basis, if yes, then that is causing your wifi to nevel go to sleep mode!
[Galaxy S II General] cyberundertaker:
I meant this...
[Galaxy S II General] Barely Running:
I set my phone up like this and it's working. I turned the screen off and went back to it about 20 minutes later and I could see it was in the process of gaining a WiFi connection when the screen lit up.

Hi,

I update now to the "No O2 UK branding XWLP3 4.0.3". No problem, but ... I can't get Root access anymore. Try with Odin and used the "XWLP3 Stock Kernel" but no luck.

What am I doning wrong?

[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
well if your flashing the stock kernel then you wont get root,

you should flash i think the lp7 cf_root kernel ...
[Galaxy S II General] kmaximax:
stock kernel will not give you root its a stock meaning standard untouched original kernel you need to root with an insecure kernel such as CFROOT

I used CF-Root-SGS2_DX_XTC_LP7-v5.4-CWM5 and flashed as PDA using ODIN :)

Bad partition?

A person in the Android forum said that we have problems with the scroll in ICS and some problems because we do not update correctly and have partition problems.

He tries all ics and his SGS2 fly the scroll from the LPQ till LP3, while my in lpq scroll was wrong and only recently in lp3 do a little better.

This person is right?

How my SGS can be repaired if i have a problem of bad partition? Returning to a 2.3.4 with a pit?

[Galaxy S II General] ricnar456:
i ask him

I ask him but he say:

I am with the Russian lp2, and try all, and never had these problems. So I think they are doing bad things to install, all roms ics were super fluid, rather than gb and not only that, the benchs showed me over a thousand points of difference. I never missed, a call or any sign of problems.

and

Well ... Try this test ... Return to the 2.3.4 with the pit of the unbranded who is in the initial post, not set up any user ... And on that install the ics they want and after that will have a free ics config or anything .... We make the change csc * # 272 * # IMEI corresponding to each region, xeo, oxa, etc ... depending on which download. and that makes a factory reset ... After wipes and see if it works better.

for me the problem is the ext4 partition so back to the unbranded repartitioned of gbread.

I9100XWLP3 (4.0.3) - O2 (UK)- No data network access

I’ve flashed the last firmware I9100XWLP3 on my galaxy S2. At the beginning, everything was working fine but now I have no more data network access ('use packet data' option is activated and the APN field is fulfilled).

Does anyone have an idea how to solve this issue ? Might this be linked to the modem version (XXLPR)?

However, problem - the kernal links are broken in the first post. Could anyone reuplad anywhere else for me?

Thanks in advance, I owe you a pint or two.

Also, my phone is a hybrid of two slightly deficient revision. First one I got when they first came out and it went through the bath, so I bought one with a cracked screen and replaced the mainboard. The ,ew board is a different colour and has rev2 printed on it. Phone works fine but am I likely to run into problems?

Yes, you can flash any ROM irrespective of where your phone is from. Catches are 1) regional language support may not exist for some ROMs (but if English is your primary language you'll be fine), and 2) Kies may not show updates for your phone anymore, but who wants Kies anyway?

Also for the sake of completeness, let me mention both the above issues have workarounds.
