Hi All,

Kind of new to this... I have the Brazilian/Latin American GB 2.3.4 build on my phone. Can I just use ODIN to flash this Nordic ICS build on my phone? Do I need to do anything else special? I don't think the Latin America firmware is ever gonna be updated to ICS.
[Galaxy S II General] cammel:
Latin American firmwares are already updated to ics, in argentina, Brasil, Chile and some other countries I can't remember, I don't know where are you from but you should have also received your update via Kies. But if you wanna install Nordic ics just open Odin, put the extracted file you downloaded from here on the pda section and click start. That's all you need to do. (previously put your phone on download mode of course..)
[Galaxy S II General] LegoCR:
Hello!

I just flashed the XWLPG firmware into my i9100, and everything went smooth, but now I realized that the keyboard went from QWERTY to QWERTZ and when I go for *#1234# there it says:

CSC = Unknown :confused:

I guess the QWERTZ instead of QWERTY has something to do with this.. And if I try to change it with the app from the market it doesn't show any options .. Only a blank option that cannot even been choose.

I already tried to flash the CSC file only using Odin and it didn't change the situation.. Not even following some steps that I found around the forum saying to flash the ROM using the CSC spot instead of the PDA and it didn't work either...

Still QWERTZ instead of QWERTY and CSC showing as Unknown..

Any thoughts on how to fix this?? :(

Thx
[Galaxy S II General] cammel:
It's a bad flashing, happened to me few times. Try to wipe data, cache, dalvik and flash it again, the exact same thing happened to me (inverted Y and Z letters on keyboard and csc=unknown) doing that and flashing again solved the problem for me.

Good luck!
[Galaxy S II General] qwerty_7564:
This always happened to me if I cleared the data partition and immediately went into download mode and flashed a new rom without letting the previous rom boot again, it seemed to miss the csc extraction step preformed by recovery after the flash.
[Galaxy S II General] LegoCR:
I just try it again .. wiped data, cache and dalvik.. Flash it using Odin with the *.tar on the PDA spot .. And still CSC=Unknown

Actually am doing it as you are saying so I guess it has to be something about that .. How is it suppose to be done then?

This is what I do:

1. Power off the Cellphone

2. Volume UP + Home + Power to CWM

3. Wipe/Format data

4. Wipe Cache

5. Advance/Wipe Dalvik Cache

6. Reboot system

7. And without letting the system reboot I go for Volume Down + Home + Power to get into Download Mode .. And from there well, I just go to Odin and flash the Firmware..

If this steps are wrong, how should it be then?? :(

Thx for the responses

Any changelist for DXLPB mate?

Steps 1 to 5 as above then:

6. Reboot hte system and let it fully reboot.

7. Shutdown.

Then go into download mode and flash with Odin.

Do you find the battery is good when WiFi is on? I have found that with WiFi on, the battery drains quite fast on DXLPB. It seems to drain a lot slower on the XWLPG ROMs for me.
[Galaxy S II General] A22AC:
for me when wifi on battery percentage decrease around 1% for 8minutes, i set whatsapp,google drive,mail,contact,calendar sync on. How about u? i dont know if 1% for 8 minutes is good or not

Hi all, can the csc be changed to xsp in this version of the firmware?

Downloaded CSC select from play store. Run it to choose xsp code. This operation will wipe your phone to factory state. So backup your data first.

Finally at last, I can update to a 403 that works and hopefully a bit less buggy.

Battery drain on LPG modem

Im on Virgin Mobile (they use the T-Mobile and Orange masts) and let you know

Ill try the newest Singapore one, I thnk

EDIT:

[Galaxy S II General] Coltie:
Okay, after flashing so many ICS Custom roms and not being satisfied with neither one, I decided to flash a stock ICS and customize it the way I like. But I have one question, a couple of questions actually.

Lets say I choose a region Asia stock rom, but I'm not from Asia, I'm from Europe, are there any pros and cons for me if I choose this version?

And I see different release dates, but they are always 4.0.3

if two roms :

1st released on 27 june 4.0.3 version

2nd released on 12 june 4.0.3 version

Does that mean that the 1st one is a newer version of android and the other one isnt? Can there be any difference between 4.0.3 and 4.0.3 ?

I'd be very thankful to the ones that respond. Thank you, you will really help me out. I'd be watching the thread for a while, so if you need some answers from me in order to answer fully I will respond in no time.

I'm from Bulgaria, thats in Europe [ lol ], so I need the rom that will have Bulgarian language [ to write on, I dont need my menu to be in Bulgarian , I understand the english better. ].
[Galaxy S II General] someonet1k:
Hello mate :laugh:

Typically, if you chose an unbranded ROM it will have almost all of the languages so it doesn't matter if its from Asia, Europe or America.

The newer ROM builds generally have performance improvements, bug fixes and etc. The Android base may be 4.0.3. everywhere but there still lots of other layers on top that can be improved while keeping the 4.0.3. index.

Almost all of the unbranded European ROMs do have our language so no worries. There's a bug in Swype though that sometimes can't sent SMS in cyrillic (it arrives in a monkey-type alphabet to the receiver) but you can write the SMS on the Samsung stock keyboard (or download a separate one from Google Play). Swype will still work just fine for everything else in cyrillic just not SMS sometimes for some reason...
[Galaxy S II General] Coltie:
Thank you for your help, I will download the latest one, as for the Swype keyboard, I dont use it, ever, its not comfortable for me.

What is the changelist of UHLPS?

In Checkfus, UHLPS seems older than XWLPI according to the modified dates.

I don't know about LPI.
[Galaxy S II General] ricnar456:
Uhlps is newer and has more high changelist.

The modified date is not important a old rom can be taken for modify and published one month Next than a newer rom.

Other good replacement is InvisiBright, this can be started with search button (in other devices a pity this cannot be changed) and from status bar.

You press in status bar and can slide in the screen from up to down for adjust the brightness, and touch the right part of the screen for close, is the best and don't eat battery at all.

Maybe can be started from other button than search in pro version, the free version cannot be customized the button for start.

Usually when I'm using the default browser, I would open new windows (Max up to 8).

I see 2 drawbacks with this last ROM:

1. On lock screen with previous ROMs, if you had a lost call and received a text message their would appear in 2 different circles in the screen to unlock directly to phone or to messages depending on which circle you unlock. Now they appear on the same circle...

2. On mail application, and in previous ROMs if you choose to display emails grouped by conversation, conversations with one mail only would not appeared grouped and would be easily previewed. Now, in mail application in this rom, conversations with one email only also need to be expanded...

All of these, just for the battery percentage on the top bar? Rolling back...
