flash & iplayer works fine for me... also the keyboard is proper...in LPS i mean...

something wrong with your settings...

i normally do a reset after flashing a ROM... so if nothing works...try wipe..
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
i would say australia/optus and luxemburg are the same build...both LP4

Well my dad's GS2 has been stuck on 2.3.3 since we got it, has been locking up as well (possibly due to restoring all the apps and settings from his DHD? Or maybe a firmware issue).

Anyway yesterday decided to factory reset and flash LPS, went fine, everything working ok, no lock ups yet. Also I was expecting to have to do a *272* CSC change but it auto detected the CPW csc and set it up as such anyway.

Could someone explain firmware versions, for example, I can see how LPS is newer than LPR, but when it's say LP4 how do you compare a number to a letter to find out which is newest.

Weird Wireless Network Behaviour.

On XXLPS my phone looses the connection to my wireless network if I turn off 'Broadcast SSID"

This did not happen on GB 2.3.5, 2.3.6 ICS XLPQ and WXLP2 I did do a factory reset and cleared the cache.

It is not a major problem but I do prefer for security reasons not to broadcast the SSID.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I guess if I'm the only one that I will reflash but will wait and see if anyone else has this.

anybody got 2 sg2 phones? or a mate around? I just noticed after doing a couple of flashes directly from GB to ICS... well everyone knows ICS is more battery hungry.. BUT, I notice 'Display' goes from about 35% of the battery usage to 50%-60% on ICS.... also I noticed that on automatic mode, the screen brightness seems much brighter on ICS than GB.... Anyone able to test this side by side in different light conditions?

thanks.. I'd lay money this is part of the battery drain issue...aswell as the deep sleep problem...

Is there any difference between LP4 and LPS? Modem is at least the same.

I just updated my LPQ to LPS, working fine for me. I used mobile Odin to update this, but I lost my root access the first time. Because there wasn't any CF-Root URL with the LPS ROM I tried kernel of other versions.

The LPQ CF-Root kernel worked with me to get Root access again on the LPS rom.

2nd time I used Mobile Odin to flash LPS, I got root with the LPS kernel.

Except that LPQ/LP2/LPS etc make no sense, as L is 2012, but P isn't any month, therefore they seem to have abandoned that (it's not really updated either, XW doesn't include Luxenburg there, which clearly is incorrect as XWLP4 is the official Lux one).

Sorry for repeating again, but maybe some has a clue and the previous post is far behind.

I've flashed using desktop Odin, restarted - all ok, then rooted using Odin. Starts up ok, works ok apart from not seeing applications on SD card.

I can access the card, all is there but system can't see the apps.

I've tried clearing dalvik, went to CWM and cleared cache partition, cleared dalvik again, fixed permissions. Rebooted again - seen the "optimizing applications" screen with the correct number of apps, but after finishing the boot I still can't see them.

Rebooted couple of times with and without SD card, still nothing.

Any idea anyone?

my thoughts of ICS

Right where to begin,

Pros:

A new interface in the options

Cons:

There is no true ICS experience when you got Touchwiz running.

I dont like the fact that when you click on phone your contacts page isnt there, you have to goto contacts (why take that option out!)

No ring & vibrate option.

Im going back to 2.3.6 checkrom until ICS gets improved and someone makes a ROM of ICS (using official) with no touchwiz and no customised bits.

Hi everyone, I have a couple of questions that are not answered in the post:

1. I've downloaded @home version from this link (and it in the same thread) http://hotfile.com/dl/149514867/aea2f22/I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_XEO.zip.html it is in this post, no such name as the post claims "I9100_CODE_I9100XXKP*_CL*_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5" only 1 tar and 1 dll file in RAR, is this the same low ship etc?

2. I currently have 2.3.6 gigerbread, and should I use a PIT file with odin?

3. whats the difference about using odin with the 3 files or 1 file RAR?

4. it's possible to not use filefactory? lol

ICS Browser

I'm not enjoying the new browser on ICS on my GS II (O2 update)

Firsly, has ICS removed the ability to double tap to resize text in the browser? The only option I see which remotely allows me to do this is the "Auto-fit pages" under "Advanced" in "Settings" and thid resizes text while I am zoomed out. I really dislike this option as before, I liked to to see the entire webpage and I would double tap to resize the text in the desired part of the page. Have I missed an option which is similar to the browser in Gingerbread?

Also, the browser felt smoother before the update. Are there methods to rectify the problems I have mentioned?
[Galaxy S II General] elishnevsky:
Install Chrome Beta, it's a decent browser.
[Galaxy S II General] bungknees:
Just my two cents here, but I feel that LPS is better than LP4, i think the scrolling is smoother, phone in general feels smoother and more responsive. Ive tried all the Ics leaks so far, but my personal fav is definitely LPS.
[Galaxy S II General] SpartanCoca:
Chrome browser is satisfactory. I really enjoyed the stock browser before the ICS update. The updated ICS stock browser doesn't feel as optimized as the old one did.

[Galaxy S II General] hebermc:
I have been watching the roms being launched in this thread and noticed a install change, now a factory reset / full erase is recommended. What is the reason for that?

The wanamlite roms only recommend doing a wipe if not on 2.3.5 (I am on 2.3.5).

(http://wanamlite.com/installation-tips/)

Which method should I use?

[Galaxy S II General] Karpfenhai:
It depends ;)

If you experience problems after flashing, do a wipe, its never wrong to have a fresh start, if you come from a deoxeded custom rom, the upgrade will mostly fail (never finishes the "Android is upgrading" procedure), if you come from stock, it will probably work flawless.

Sometimes a fix permissions is enough.

I prefer to wipe the phone after such a major upgrade (fresh start), its not necessary to wipe between LPQ-LP2-LP3-LP4.

Its your decision, but dont complain about FC, and crashing Apps if you did not wipe in the first place..
[Galaxy S II General] Huck33:
a full wipe is always recommended if you want to avoid any problem

even if the new rom is a non wipe version
[Galaxy S II General] doongoo:
Don not agree.

Better: a full wipe can not harm

I've flashed the new ROM-s (only stock) in GB always without wipe and never had any problems...
[Galaxy S II General] soysuperbien:
so far i haven't had the wifi enabling problem on lp4. i had it on previous ics roms. only been using lp4 for 24 hours though.
[Galaxy S II General] tjtj4444:
If going from GB (2.3.x) I really recommend a full wipe, and also that you don't restore all apps at once (do not use automatic restore of apps & settings), start with the most important apps and see if everything work fine (including battery consumption), some apps doesn't work well with ICS.

But you could of course try without wipe first and just restore everything. But if you get problems, i recommend you wipe and re-install according to above.

wow optus is running this (lp4) come on telstra get ya butt in to gear

[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
I agree, i didnt do a full wipe, and im getting some small minor issues, that are really annoying.

always wipe - just gives it a nice clean install..

hence why now im in the process of doing a clean install of HyDrOG3N-ICS
[Galaxy S II General] XSCounter:
It's like with Windows upgrade. You can of course just install Windows 7 on top of Vista but this will give you a messy, slow system. So doing a clean Windows 7 install is always a much better choice.

Same here, when you upgrade without wiping a lot of unnecessary files and settings are left out from GB when you move to ICS and those settings may conflict.. Even different builds may create problems to each other, although not as often.
